Step-by-step
- Preheat your oven to 120°C/Gas 1/2, position middle shelf. Boil your kettle.
- Start with the salmon. Get a non-stick baking tray. Put the salmon on the tray. Season each fillet with salt and cayenne. Brush the seasoning into the flesh. Bake for 22 minutes.
- While the salmon bakes, prepare the mushy peas. Get a medium-sized pan. Add 150ml water and 1 tbsp of the extra virgin olive oil. Bring to the boil. Add the peas. Cover and bring back to the boil. Take the lid off. Boil rapidly for 4 minutes until all but 3 tbsp of the liquid has evaporated. Add 3 tbsp of the basil. Mash or blend the pea mixture to a chunky texture. Season to taste.
- Next, make the sunblush tomato ketchup. Get a small pan. Add the honey, wine vinegar, tomato puree, 2 tbsp of water and the remaining 2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil. Whisk together. Add the sunblush tomatoes and pine nuts if you are using them. Put the pan on a medium heat for 30 seconds or so until the relish is warm but not boiling. Add the remaining 3 tbsp of basil. Take the pan off the heat. Season to taste.
- Put the mushy peas on one side of your plates. Put the salmon next to them. Spoon the sunblush tomato ketchup over and around the salmon.
