Spaghetti With Hot Smoked Salmon, Rocket and Capers recipe by Cherrypick

Rich, smoky flakes of salmon are tossed with peppery fresh rocket, briny capers, and a bright squeeze of lemon. Finished with a golden, crunchy scattering of toasted breadcrumbs and served alongside juicy, olive-oil-drizzled tomatoes, it’s a beautifully balanced bowl that tastes just as stunning as it looks.

Method

Based on 4 servings, adjust as needed.

Step 1

Heat 2 tbsp of the oil in a small frying pan until hot. Add the breadcrumbs and cook over a medium heat for 3-4 minutes until golden and crisp, turning often. Tip into a small bowl. (You can prepare these several hours ahead.)

Step 2

Cook the pasta in plenty of gently boiling well-salted water until al dente. Meanwhile peel the garlic and chop it very finely. Put the rest of the oil in a small pan and add the garlic and chillies. Warm gently over a low heat so they flavour the oil – but don’t let the garlic fry.

Step 3

Drain the pasta and tip it into a warmed very large serving bowl. Quickly add the lemon zest and capers to the oil, then pour over the pasta. Toss well, add the rocket and salmon and toss again – take care not to break up the salmon too much. Scatter the breadcrumbs over and serve with a salad of sliced tomatoes.
