Steps:
- 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. 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.
- 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.
- 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.)
- 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.

SALMON AND BROCCOLI ALFREDO WITH PASTA
I love making food from things that come in cans, jars, or freezer packets, because... well, I'm lazy. This recipe is great because it calls for all of the above, requiring absolutely nothing fresh. (Note: It's an altered version of a recipe from a book called Betty Crocker's 4 Ingredient Dinners.)

Steps:
- In a large stockpot, cook noodles as directed on package.
- While noodles are cooking, flake and drain salmon.
- Yes, this is necessary!
- I was new to canned salmon, and so I didn't believe the instructions, but I soon discovered that salmon truly does come in huge, icky lumps.
- When noodles are 2 to 4 minutes away from being done, add the broccoli to the water.
- This will probably stop the water from boiling, so those 2 to 4 minutes might end up closer to 8 to 10 minutes instead!
- This happened to me, but, amazingly, even with 8 extra minutes of cooking time the broccoli did not become mush.
- Drain pasta and broccoli, reserving about a cup of the cooking water.
- Return noodles and broccoli to pot.
- Add Alfredo and seasonings to taste (I recommend lots of black pepper and--even better--Trader Joe's Sun-Dried Tomato Seasoning Splash, which is sold, not surprisingly, at Trader Joe's-- about 8 teaspoons of it).
- If the sauce is too thick, and it likely will be, dribble in the reserved cooking water slowly until the consistency is right.
- And you're done.
- Woo hoo.
- You just opened some cans, and a jar, and a box, and a package, and now you have yummy pasta.
- Enjoy.

SALMON BROCCOLI PASTA
Fast and healthy? one dish meal that's also a kid pleaser at my house. I usually use left over salmon, which makes it even faster. If you don't have left over salmon, you can either use some smoked salmon (will have to adjust seasonings since it is salty), or bake some while you cook the pasta (season with olive oil, minced garlic, salt and pepper and bake at 350 degrees F until it flakes easily with fork). You could also sub the broccoli with other veggies like frozen peas (just skip the boiling and add straight into the sauce) or asparagus (cut it into 1" pieces and boil until crisp-tender). Any type of pasta will work, penne or corkscrews, which are easier to toss but in a pinch even spaghetti will work. Another sugguestion is to add fresh snipped chives for more flavor at the end of cooking.

Steps:
- Season salmon with salt, pepper, and cayenne. Sprinkle flour onto one side of each fillet and pat gently onto the fish.
- Heat clarified butter in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon, floured side down, and let sear for 2 ½ minutes. Flip and sear the other side for 2 minutes. Remove to a plate and cover with foil.
- Add capers to the skillet and press with the back of a fork to gently mash. Pour in wine and lemon juice; add lemon zest. Swirl the pan to combine. Let reduce by half, about 1 minute.
- Reduce heat to low and add butter; swirl the pan or stir with a spoon or spatula until butter is almost fully melted. Transfer salmon and any accumulated juices from the plate back into the skillet. Allow butter to fully melt while spooning sauce over salmon.
- Pour in water to thin sauce if needed; continue to spoon sauce over salmon and cook until salmon is fully cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the fillets should read about 145 degrees F (63 degrees C). Sprinkle parsley over top.
- Remove from heat and transfer to a serving plate; spoon pan sauce over salmon.

Tips:
- Select the right salmon: Choose wild-caught salmon for its superior flavor and health benefits. Look for pieces that are firm, moist, and have a vibrant color.
- Cook the salmon properly: Overcooking salmon can make it dry and tough. To prevent this, cook the fish until it reaches an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit, or until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily.
- Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The quality of your ingredients will greatly impact the final dish. Choose fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices to ensure the best flavor.
- Don't overcook the broccoli: Broccoli should be cooked until it is tender-crisp, not mushy. Overcooked broccoli loses its nutrients and flavor.
- Add seasonings to taste: Adjust the seasonings in the recipe to your liking. You may want to add more salt, pepper, or herbs to suit your taste.
Conclusion:
This salmon with broccoli and pasta recipe is a delicious and nutritious meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The salmon is cooked to perfection, the broccoli is tender-crisp, and the pasta is al dente. The creamy sauce brings all of the flavors together and makes this dish irresistible. With a few simple tips, you can easily make this recipe at home and enjoy a restaurant-quality meal in the comfort of your own kitchen.
