ingredients
4 tablespoons - olive oil

2 x 7 oz - salmon fillets

  - salt and pepper

7 oz - spaghettini

4 tablespoons - pesto

4 tablespoons - chopped fresh parsley

12 - sunblush tomatoes

10 - 12 - baby mozzarella balls

directions
  1. Cook the spaghettini according to the instructions on the packet (just a few minutes in boiling, salted water). Meanwhile, remove any skin from the salmon fillets and season with salt and freshly-ground black pepper. Heat the oil in a large frying pan, place the salmon in the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. While the salmon is cooking, drain the cooked spaghettini in a colander and mix with the pesto and chopped parsley.
  2. Roughly chop the sunblush tomatoes and arrange them with the mozzarella balls on two plates. Add a dash of vinegar to each. Top with the warm pasta-pesto-parsley mix and then the cooked salmon.
