Method
Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.
Step 1
Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan. Line a baking tray with parchment and place on the salmon fillets, skin side up. Season the fish with salt, pepper and a drizzle of oil. Pop to one side.
Step 2
Chop the onion and garlic and halve the tomatoes. Place a large frying pan on a high heat and add the remaining olive oil. Add the chopped onions and cook for 4-5 minutes with a large pinch of salt. Reduce the heat and add the garlic and cook for a further 2 mins. Pop the salmon into the oven to cook for 10 mins at this point.
Step 3
Tip in the halved tomatoes (add a pinch of chilli flakes if you'd like a bit of heat) and cook, with a lid on for 5-6 minutes until the tomatoes start to collapse.
Step 4
Season the dish with lots of black pepper and tip in the drained butter beans and pesto, fresh basil leaves and the grated hard veggie hard cheese. Heat through before adding the lemon zest. Remove the salmon from the oven and serve the bean ragu, topped with the salmon and a wedge of lemon on each plate.
