Ingredients
Method
In a heatproof bowl that will fit over a saucepan to make a bain-marie, combine the shallot, garlic, oil and passata and two of the peppers. Cover with a double thickness of cling film. Place over the bain-marie and cook for 1 hour. Transfer the pepper mix to a blender and purée. Season and then add the diced pepper to the mix. Keep warm.
Combine the salt, sugar and basil and use to season the Norwegian salmon fillet. Leave to cure for 1 hour. Rinse off and pat dry. Place the fish into small vacuum bags and pour in just enough oil to cover. Cook in a water bath at 50℃ for 20 minutes.
Heat the oil for the courgettes in a heavy sauté pan. Stir fry the courgette with the chilli flakes and season well. Stir in the chives. Drain on some kitchen paper.
Mound the courgette into shallow bowls. Remove the salmon from the vacuum pouches, pat dry and place onto the courgette. Mix the basil into the sauce and spoon around the fish.
