Ingredients

375g fettucine

120g halved green marinated olives

500g skinless salmon fillets

1 red onion, thinly sliced

400g ripe tomatoes, chopped

1 cup torn fresh basil leaves, plus extra to garnish

Method

Step 1

Cook fettuccine in a large saucepan of boiling, salted water until tender. Drain. Cover to keep warm.

Step 2

Meanwhile, season salmon with salt and pepper. Heat a large, deep, non-stick frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add salmon. Cook for about 3 mins on each side, or until cooked to your liking. Remove. Cover with foil. Break into pieces.

Step 3

Drain olives, reserving oil. Heat 2tsp of the reserved oil in the same frying pan over medium heat. Add onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 2 mins, or until soft.

Step 4

Add tomatoes. Cook, stirring, for 2 mins, or until just soft. Stir in olives and pasta. Cook for a further 1 min, until hot. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 5

Gently stir through salmon and torn basil.

Step 6

Serve with grated parmesan and lemon wedges (optional). Garnish with extra basil leaves.
