Before you start

  • Pull out a large frying pan, a medium saucepan, a sieve & a measuring jug

Prep the veg

  • Cut the carrot into 1/2 half-moons. Thinly slice the onion and garlic. Trim the tenderstem. Finely chop the parsley. Drain and rinse the cannellini beans

Get the stew on

  • Heat the large frying pan with 1/2 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the salmon fillets, skin-side down, and fry for 4 mins, then flip and fry for a further 3 mins. Remove from the pan and set aside
  • Return the frying pan to medium-high heat with 1 tsp oil. Once hot, add the onion and carrot to the pan. Cook for 4-5 mins, until starting soften, then add the garlic and vegan 'nduja and cook for a further 3-4 mins
  • Add the vinegar, stock powder, beans, passata and 200ml water (100ml for 1 person) and stir to combine
  • Bring to the boil, then place the salmon fillets into the stew and simmer for 18 mins, until the salmon is cooked

Cook the green tenderstem

  • When the stew has 5 mins remaining, bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Once boiling, add the tenderstem and boil for 3-4 mins, until cooked, then drain

Last bits

  • Once the salmon is cooked, remove from the pan and cover to keep warm
  • Pick the woody stalks from the kale, then stir into the stew and cook for 2-3 mins, until soft
  • Remove from the heat, then stir in half the parsley. Taste and season if needed

Plate up

  • Check your fish is cooked through; it should be steaming hot, opaque and separate easily with a fork
  • Share the salmon and stew between bowls, with the tenderstem alongside. Garnish with the remaining parsley
