Salmon & Purple Sprouting Broccoli Bake


Serves 4: Prep 25 mins: Cook 30 mins


Ingredients

250g Pasta of your choice

300g Purple Sprouting Broccoli

25g Butter

25g Plain Flour

600ml Milk

100g Mascarpone

8 Sundried Tomatoes, drained of oil

2 tbsp small Capers, rinsed well (optional)

8 Anchovy Fillets, (optional)

10Large fresh basil Leaves, roughly torn

4 fresh skinless Salmon Fillets

50g Cheddar, finely grated


Method

1/Preheat the oven to 190C/gas 5/fan 170C and get out an ovenproof dish (measuring 20 by 30cm, and about 5cm deep). Meanwhile, put a large pan of water on to boil for the pasta. When it is boiling rapidly, tip in the pasta with a generous sprinkling of salt and dash of oil. Give it a stir, return to the boil and cook for 6 minutes. Add the broccoli, then return the water to the boil and cook for 4 minutes more, until the broccoli is on the firm side of just tender. Drain well.

2/While the pasta is cooking, put the butter, flour and milk in a large pan and heat, whisking or stirring continuously, until it thickens to make a smooth sauce. Remove from the heat and stir in the mascarpone, sun-dried tomatoes, capers (if using), anchovies (if using) and basil, then add the pasta and broccoli and season well.

3/Halve the salmon fillets widthways (you will see that there is an obvious divide on each fillet) then place the pieces in a single layer on the base of the ovenproof dish. Spoon the broccoli mixture on top, then scatter with the grated cheddar. (You can chill this for up to 4 hours if you want to get ahead.)

4/Bake for 30 minutes until the mixture is just starting to bubble round the edges and the mixture is pale golden – don’t let it go too dark or the fish will overcook.
