11. The idea of this dish is to bake your salmon plainly with a little extra virgin olive oil and sea salt. In the same tray bake tomatoes olives and blanched green beans laying anchovies over the beans. As the anchovies cook they fall apart and as the olives roast they sort of infuse a smoky flavour with the tomatoes. This is a really choice combination you must try it.
