- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat canola oil. Add shallots and garlic and sauté 1-2 minutes. Add salmon and cook through, turning once, approximately 5 minutes. Add white wine, chicken broth, lemon juice and marjoram. Let simmer about 3 minutes. Add asparagus pieces and continue to cook until asparagus is tender, about 2-3 more minutes. Sir in arugula leaves. Continue to cook, about 1 minute, until arugula leaves have just wilted. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, cook farfalle in a large amount of boiling water until just tender, following package directions. Drain, reserving 1 cup (250 mL) of pasta water, and return to pot. Add salmon mixture to pasta and add some of the reserved pasta water if needed. Gently toss ingredients. Serve immediately.
