Before you start

  • Preheat the oven to 240C / fan 220C / gas mark 9 / air fryer 190C
  • Line a baking tray with parchment paper
  • Bring a saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a large ovenproof dish & a sieve

Get the potatoes on

  • Cut the potatoes into 3cm cubes
  • Place onto a large lined baking tray and toss with 1 tsp oil, half the Italian herbs and a pinch of salt and pepper
  • Roast for 25-30 mins / air fryer 20-25 mins until soft and golden

Make the tomato sauce

  • Finely chop or crush the garlic. Finely dice the pepper. Halve the tomatoes
  • Heat a large frying pan with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the prepped veg and the remaining Italian herbs, then cook for 5 mins, until softening
  • Add the passata, sundried tomato paste and 100ml hot water to the pan. Add in the stock and stir
  • Bring to a boil then simmer for 5 mins, until thickening slightly. Season with salt and pepper
  • Transfer the tomato sauce to a large ovenproof dish

Salmon time

  • Wipe the frying pan clean and reheat with 1 tsp oil on medium-high heat
  • Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Once the pan is hot, add the salmon, skin-side down, and cook for 3 mins per side
  • Place the salmon, skin-side up, on top of the tomato sauce. Bake for 15 mins, until cooked through

Last bits

  • Quarter the lemon. Roughly chop the capers
  • Trim the green beans, then add them to the saucepan. Boil for 2-3 mins, until cooked
  • Drain, then season with salt and pepper

Plate up

  • Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
  • Serve the potatoes and green beans alongside the salmon and tomato sauce. Garnish with the capers and lemon wedges
