- Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F). Season the salmon fillet with fine salt and ground white pepper.
- In a pan, heat 1 tbsp of casa olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, finely chopped anchovies, and cook for 1 minute. Stir in the chunky tomato purée, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced black olives, and drained capers. Cook for 5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Place the salmon fillet on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spoon the puttanesca sauce over the salmon. Bake in the preheated oven for 10-12 minutes or until the salmon is just cooked through.
- In another pan, heat the remaining 1 tbsp of casa olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the sliced courgette, yellow pepper, julienned turnip, sliced red onion, and trimmed green asparagus. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Season with fine salt and ground white pepper to taste.
- Serve the salmon topped with the puttanesca sauce alongside the crispy spring vegetables. Garnish with chopped fresh coriander, fresh mint, and a pinch of finely chopped chilli pepper.
Adjust the chilli pepper to taste if you prefer a spicier dish. This recipe pairs well with a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
