In a 4-quart Dutch oven, cook pasta according to package directions. Drain well. Return pasta to Dutch oven; cover to keep warm.

Meanwhile, rinse salmon; pat dry with paper towels. Preheat broiler. Place fish on greased unheated rack of broiler pan, tucking under any thin edges. Broil 4 inches from the heat for 8 to 12 minutes or until fish begins to flake when tested with a fork, turning once halfway through cooking. Remove to plate; break into chunks. Cover to keep warm.
