Smoky Chorizo Salmon With Crispy Potatoes And Aioli

Preheat the oven to 220°C/ 200°C (fan)/ gas 7, then chop your potatoes (skins on) into bite-sized pieces

Add the chopped potatoes to a baking tray (or two!) with half your cayenne pepper (can't handle the heat? Go easy!), half your ground smoked paprika (save the rest for later!) and a pinch of salt and pepper

Drizzle everything with vegetable oil and put the tray[s] in the oven for an initial 10 min

Meanwhile, peel and chop your red onion[s] into wedges

Deseed your pepper[s] (scrape the seeds and pith out with a teaspoon) and chop into bite-sized pieces

Once the potatoes have been cooking for an initial 10 min, add the onion wedges and chopped pepper to the tray[s]

Give everything a good mix up and return the tray[s] to the oven for 15 min further or until everything has softened and the potatoes are crispy

While the veg is cooking, pat your salmon fillet[s] dry with kitchen paper

Add the salmon fillet[s] to a bowl with the remaining cayenne pepper (not a fan of spice? Just add a little!), remaining ground smoked paprika and a drizzle of vegetable oil

Give everything a good mix up and set aside to marinate – this is your smoky salmon

Peel and finely chop (or grate) your garlic

Wash your shredded kale, then pat it dry with kitchen paper thoroughly

Add the chopped garlic (not a big garlic fan? Try using less!) to a bowl with your mayo and the juice of half your lemon[s] and give everything a good mix up – this is your aioli

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat

Once hot, add the smoky salmon and your diced chorizo and season with a pinch of salt

Cook the fish for 9-10 min turning once halfway until the fish is cooked through and the chorizo is crispy – this is your smoky chorizo salmon

Tip: Your fish is cooked once it turns opaque and flakes easily

Meanwhile, heat a separate, large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium heat

Once the pan is hot, add the shredded kale and cook for 3-4 min or until wilted and season with a pinch of salt

Cut the remaining lemon into 1 wedge per person
