Ingredients

  • 4 x Big Glory Bay King Salmon portions, skin on (approx. 180 grams each)

  • sea salt

  • olive oil for cooking

PEA PURÉE

  • 2 tablespoons butter

  • 2 cloves garlic, crushed

  • 500 grams frozen baby peas

  • ⅓ cup water

  • 2 teaspoons sea salt

  • 2 tablespoons crème fraîche or mascarpone

DRESSING

  • ¼ cup olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons fresh orange juice

  • 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar

  • 2 teaspoons whole grain mustard

  • 1 clove garlic, crushed

  • 1 teaspoon sea salt

TO SERVE

  • 2 cups loosely packed soft herb leaves (any combination of dill, chervil, mint, chives, basil and parsley)

Method

DRESSING

1. Place all the ingredients in a jar and shake to emulsify.

PEA PURÉE

2. Put the butter and garlic in a medium saucepan and let sizzle for a couple of minutes. Add the peas, water and salt, cover and cook until the peas are just tender and bright green.

3. Tip everything into a blender and add the crème fraîche. Start the blender on low, occasionally scraping down the sides, then increasing the speed until the peas are silky smooth. (You can use a hand-held blender).

Cover to keep warm.

SALMON

4. Season the salmon with salt. Heat a little oil in a large sauté pan and place the salmon flesh side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes each side, or until done to your liking.

TO SERVE

Spoon the pea purée onto plates and top with the salmon. Spoon over some of the dressing then top with the fresh herbs.
