Puttanesca Salmon

Mon, 15 September 2025

You need:

-450g side of salmon (or 4 salmon fillets)

-1 lemon (sliced) -

300g cherry tomatoes

For marinade:

-60ml olive oil

-2 tbsp tomato purée

-1 can anchovy fillets(about 10 anchovies)

-1 tsp chilli flakes (optional)

-2 tsp honey

-6 cloves garlic (minced)

For dressing:

-juice & zest 1 lemon

-2 tsp chopped capers

-8-10 sliced pitless olives

-handful fresh basil

-handful fresh parsley

-2 tsp olive oil

How:

1) mix together all the marinade ingredients over low heat until anchovies are melted. Set aside to cool.

2) slice your lemon and lay on a baking tray and add your salmon on top. Season lightly with salt (the marinade is salty so not too much) and lots of black pepper

3) add 2 tbsp of the marinade over the fish and spread out. With the remaining marinade coat your cherry tomatoes and place these around the salmon on the same tray.

4) bake at 180 for about 17-20mins (mine cooked in about 18mins) if using fillets of salmon they may take less time.

5) while fish is baking chop all your dressing ingredients and and set aside. 6) plate up and serve family style on a large plate and add your herby dressing on top. I served mine with crispy cubed potatoes but mash, quinoa or cous cous is also great!
