Jamie Oliver's Smoky Chorizo Salmon

Salmon, cherry tomatoes, chorizo sausage, fresh basil and black olives—everything you need for a quick midweek meal. (Did we mention it’s ready in 11 minutes?)

Ingredients

  • 2 x 5-oz salmon fillets, skin on, scaled, pin-boned

  • 10 oz ripe mixed colour cherry tomatoes

  • 4 sprigs of fresh basil

  • 8 black olives, (with pits)

  • 1 oz chorizo sausage

Instructions

  • Put the salmon flesh-side down in a large cold non-stick frying pan and place on a medium-high heat. As the pan comes up to temperature and the salmon begins to sizzle (about 3 minutes), flip it over and cook on the skin side for 5 minutes, or until very crisp and just cooked (depending on its thickness).

  • Meanwhile, halve the cherry tomatoes, tear up most of the basil leaves, then toss it all with 1 tablespoon of red wine vinegar and a pinch of sea salt and black pepper. Squash the olives and discard the pits, then finely chop the flesh. Mix with 1 teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil and a splash of water.

  • Finely slice the chorizo, add to the pan for the last 2 minutes, then toss in the dressed tomatoes for 30 seconds. Divide between your plates, with the salmon on top. Spoon over the dressed olives and pick over the remaining basil.
