How to make the recipe

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 200°C/180°C fan oven.

Sit the salmon skin side down in a roasting tin, drizzle over half the olive oil and season well with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Put in the oven and roast for about 20 mins or until salmon is cooked through.

Step 3

Remove from oven, when cool enough to handle, remove the skin and break the salmon up into chunky pieces and put to one side.

Step 4

Heat the remaining oil in a large wok, add the courgettes, season and cook for about 5 mins then throw in the garlic and ginger and toss around the pan for about a further 5 mins or until courgettes are cooked, add more oil if needed. Remove with a slotted spoon and put to one side.

Step 5

Add the fiery chilli pesto and peanut butter to the wok along with 6 tbsp of hot water, heat gently and stir to combine, top up with more hot water if the mixture is too thick.

Step 6

Separate the noodles a little and add to the pan, stir to coat and heat through then add the courgette mixture and salmon to the pan and gently stir through and transfer to serving dishes.
