Step one: make the wild garlic pesto Combine the wild garlic, almonds, parmesan oil and lemon zest and pulse for 90 secs in a food processor to create a chunky pesto. (This can be made in larger quantities and stored In the fridge for up to a month.) Step two: salmon Mix the chilli jam and honey together with and pour over the salmon, place into a pre-heated oven at 180 degrees for 10 minutes to gently warm, this salmon is already cooked so only looking to reheat.

Step 3: Make the crispy sourdough garnish Combine grated parmesan, wild garlic leaves sourdough breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and a small drizzle of oil – bake in the oven at the same time as the salmon until golden and crispy then add in the lemon zest.

Step 4: Char the veggies Using 1tsp of rapeseed oil in a griddle pan or a BBQ (weather permitting!) char the asparagus and cavalo nero leaves until tender and well coloured.

Step 5: bring it all together Meanwhile the veggies are on the go, bring you salted water to the boil and cook the pasta, once cooked, drain and keep some pasta water for the sauce.

In a separate saucepan- sweat off the red onion for 1-2 minutes on a low heat, add in the cream cheese, pesto, peas and lemon juice. fold in some pasta water to adjust the sauce consistency, fold in the charred veggie and pasta. allow to sit in the sauce for 2-3 mins for the pasta to absorb some of the sauce, if you need to adjust with more pasta water now is the time.

Step 6: serve Spoon your pasta into the bowl, break the salmon into large flakes and place on the pasta, finish with the tasty breadcrumb topping and a little drizzle of rapeseed oil.
