Seared Salmon with Pea Puree

  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 sliced shallot
  • 500g frozen green peas
  • 100ml veg stock
  • ½ lemon, juice only
  • 2 salmon fillets, skin on
  • Olive oil
  • 50g crumbled feta
  • Pinch of chilli flakes and sumac
  • Fry the shallot in melted butter to soften, then add the peas and stock and simmer for 8 mins. Whizz with a stick blender to a smooth puree, then season well with salt, pepper and lemon juice.
  • Season the fish fillets all over and rub with oil, then sear skin-side down for 5 mins or until the skin is crisp. Flip and cook for 2-3 mins on the other side. Spoon the pea puree into shallow bowls and top with a salmon fillet, a scattering of feta and some chilli flakes and sumac. Perfect!
