Who doesn't love a 20-minute meal - especially in the summer months, when cooking for extended periods of time over a hot stove isn't idyllic? Pro tip: the pasta salad will get better the longer you allow the flavors to meld together. Make it one day ahead of time to ensure a paramount summer salad situation.

Instructions
Farfalle Pasta Salad
In a large bowl, combine lemon juice, 2 tbsp chopped fresh dill, 2 tbsp chopped fresh basil, minced garlic, vinegar, honey, salt and pepper. Drizzle in olive oil and whisk to emulsify. Add more salt to taste.
When vinaigrette is emulsified, add in cooled and cooked farfalle, cucumber, peas and remaining dill. Toss to combine and salt as needed. Refrigerate pasta salad until ready to serve.
Strawberry-Tomato Salsa
Combine all ingredients in a medium bowl, salt to taste and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Blackened Snapper
Combine paprika, garlic powder, salt, pepper and cayenne in a small bowl.
Evenly coat fish on all sides with spice mixture and heat avocado oil in a skillet over medium-high heat until oil begins to shimmer.
Cook fish, skin side down, for 5-6 minutes until skin becomes crisp. Carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes.
To serve, place one 8 ounce piece of blackened snapper on a plate, top with strawberry-tomato salsa and enjoy with a side of farfalle pasta salad.
