Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse until the pasta is cold to the touch.

While the pasta is cooking, take the dried herbs and rub them between your hands into a small bowl and add the milk, stir and let soak.

Put the cold pasta in a large bowl; add the sliced salmon, garlic, carrots and olives. Mix the mayonnaise, paprika and oil in a separate bowl until smooth, add the herb-milk mixture. Add salt and pepper to taste; pour the dressing over the pasta, stir.

Let stand in the fridge for at least 1 hour. Before serving add salt, pepper and/or milk if necessary. Salad should not have a dry appearance.

Note:
In the summertime, take advantage of your vegetable garden and add whatever is in season. Tomatoes, cucumbers, radishes, sweet peas add more variety to the salad.
