Method

  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.)
  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.
  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.

    Lovely refreshing summer pasta dish. I added cherry tomatoes and lemon juice & left out the breadcrumbs.

    One of my favourites. I've tried it with smoked trout fillets, honey roast salmon and all kinds of other variations. It works well every time. I wouldn't leave the breadcrumbs out as it really adds to the dish.

    Amazing recipe - always works brilliantly, with spinach or rocket. Def leave the breadcrumbs in! Tried it last time with cherry tomatoes roasted (just with oil, 20 mins at 200°) and it was even nicer. Dinner guests said it was like eating in a top restaurant . . . and it's so easy!
