Notes

For best results, ensure the salmon is not overcooked to maintain its moisture and flavor. Feel free to adjust the amount of lemon juice and feta cheese to suit your taste preferences. Using fresh dill can enhance the dish's aroma and give it a more authentic Greek flavor. Serve the pasta warm and enjoy it with a side of crusty bread for a complete meal.
