Instructions

  1. 1 Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain.
  2. 2 Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Coat lightly with 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil; season with blackened seasoning.
  3. 3 Heat remaining 1 tablespoon grapeseed oil in a cast-iron skillet over medium heat until it starts to smoke. (Be sure to turn on your oven vent.) Add salmon to the skillet; cook until it flakes easily with a fork, 4 to 4 ½ minutes per side. Cool salmon while you mix the pasta salad.
  4. 4 Combine penne, broccoli, bell peppers, tomato, olives, pineapple, cucumber, onion, Brussels sprouts, banana peppers, and thyme in a large bowl; mix well. Stir in mayonnaise and salad dressing. Flake salmon; gently fold into pasta salad.
