Method

  1. Heat the butter and half the olive oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the courgettes and parsley and fry for 5 minutes until tender and just turning golden. Drain, put into a dish and add the lemon juice and chives. Season and keep warm.
  2. Heat the remaining oil in a pan over a medium-high heat, season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper and the cayenne, then fry for 4-5 minutes each side until just cooked. Drizzle the courgettes with a little more olive oil and serve with the salmon, and some crusty bread or new potatoes.
