Salmon Carbonara

Tonight, I started dinner with no plan. I knew it was going to have Broccoli, Salmon, and Whole Wheat Garlic pasta from our trip to the Farmers Market. 

While my water was boiling, I decided to make Salmon Carbonara. I usually make carbonara with shrimp, but I thought this would be a good way to stretch the one salmon filet we had.
