Get all the ingredients together

If, like me, you usually forget to take the frozen prawns out of the freezer a few hours earlier (so they can de-freeze slowly in the fridge), just put the un-opened bag in the sink under running warm water and leave to float for a while. They will be ready to use in about 5 minutes.

Peel the hard leaves from the artichokes and squeeze some lemon juice over them to stop them from going brown.

Slice the artichokes and onions

Heat some olive oil in the frying pan with the cloves of garlic (whole and un-peeled) and chile flakes

Add the artichokes and onions and stir for a couple of minutes

Add the prawns and the salmon, cut into little pieces

Stir well

Prepare a pan of boiling water, add a bayleaf and a little oil and when it is boiling, add the pasta

Chop the fresh coriander (or parsley)

Add a slosh of soy sauce and the rest of the lemon juice to the pan and salt and pepper as you wish.

Strain the pasta

Put it in the bowl with the pan's contents and stir well. Usually I would add the coriander at this stage, but I have some pretty radical anti-coriander campaigners in my household..

.. so I add it once the servings are ready. Enjoy!!
