Bring a large saucepan of salted water to the boil. Add the spaghetti and simmer until tender, adding the broccoli to the pan for the final three minutes of cooking time. Before draining, scoop out a cup of the cooking water. Meanwhile, flake the salmon and remove the skin.

Drain the pasta and place it back in the pan, off the heat. Add the flaked salmon, tzatziki, lemon zest and juice, plus the cheese, along with 3 tbsp pasta cooking water. Toss together with tongs to combine and serve with extra grated cheese.
