- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook 100 g of whole wheat penne pasta according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- In a pan, heat 1 tbsp of casa olive oil over medium heat. Add 1 clove of minced garlic and 50 g of diced red onion, and sauté until the onion is translucent.
- Add 100 g of tomato coulis, 30 g of sliced black olives, 15 g of capers, and 2 pieces of chopped salted anchovies to the pan. Stir and simmer for 5 minutes. Season with 1 pinch of fine salt and 1 pinch of ground white pepper.
- In another pan, sear 150 g of salmon fillet with skin side down for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add 50 g of sliced yellow pepper, 50 g of sliced courgette, 50 g of trimmed green asparagus, 30 g of diced turnip, and 30 g of halved cherry tomatoes. Sauté the vegetables for 5 minutes until tender-crisp.
