2. Add the tomatoes and pepper and cook for 5 minutes to soften them. Stir in the courgettes, balsamic vinegar, capers, chopped basil and seasoning and leave to simmer.
3. After 10 minutes, stir well, add the salmon fillets then cover and cook gently for about 7 minutes until the salmon is cooked. If it is a little undercooked, leave in the pan for a few minutes to continue cooking in the residual heat.
