Cooking Instructions

The protein cooking time listed in this recipe has been updated.

As of December 2025, we’ve revised cooking times for all our proteins to reflect improved food safety guidance.

Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

  1. Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 8. Heat a small frying pan on a medium heat. Add the salmon fillets and cook for 3 mins on each side. Transfer to an ovenproof dish (skin-side down) and bake for 7-8 mins or until cooked through.
  2. Meanwhile, boil a kettle. Cut the beans into thirds. Half-fill a medium saucepan with lightly salted boiling water. Add the penne and boil for 7-8 mins, adding the beans to the pan for the final 3 mins of cooking. Boil together until cooked, then drain.
  3. Finely chop or crush the garlic. Roughly chop the parsley. Halve the olives.
  4. Make the puttanesca sauce; heat a large saucepan on a medium heat with 1/2 tsp oil. Add the garlic and half the parsley, cook for 1 min, then add the chopped tomatoes, capers, olives and a splash of water. Season with sea salt and black pepper. Place a lid on and simmer for 6 mins, until thickening.
  5. Halve the fresh tomatoes. Add to the puttanesca with the penne and beans; gently mix.
  6. Serve the pasta topped with the salmon. Garnish with the remaining parsley and chilli flakes.
