  4. Using a hand blender blitz the sauce until smooth and creamy and finish seasoning with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Set aside till needed.
  5. Cook tagliatelle pasta in a medium size pot of boiling salted water until al dente.
  6. Meanwhile, heat the rapeseed oil in a medium frying pan and gently seared of Atlantic salmon on each side. Pour tomato sauce into the pan and gently bring to the boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
  7. Meanwhile, drain the pasta using a colander and place straight away into the pan.
