Prep: 5 minutes
Cook: 20 minutes

Serves 2

2tbsp olive oil
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
½ tsp chilli flakes
50g black olives, chopped
1tbsp capers, chopped
200ml passata​
2 salmon fillets
200g spaghetti

Fill a kettle with water and bring to the boil.

Heat the oil in a frying pan and gently cook the garlic. When it starts to become golden, add the chilli, olives and capers cook for one minute then add the passata and stir.

Pour the boiling water into a large saucepan and cook the pasta according to the pack instructions.

Lay the salmon fillets on top of the sauce, season with pepper and cover tightly with foil. Leave to gently bubble and steam for 8-10 minutes.

When the salmon is cooked, carefully lift out of the pan and set aside on a warm plate. When the pasta is cooked drain and return to the pan, add the rocket, along with the sauce. Stir well so it’s totally coated and the rocket is wilted. Taste to check the seasoning.

Divide the pasta between two plates, flake the salmon over the top and serve.
