COOKING METHOD
Step 1:
Put the butter and garlic in a medium saucepan and sizzle for a couple of minutes. Add the peas, 80ml water and a pinch of salt; cover and cook until the peas are just tender and bright green.
Step 2:
Tip everything into a blender and add the crème fraîche. Start the blender on low, occasionally scraping down the sides, then increase the speed until the peas are silky-smooth. Cover to keep warm.
Step 3:
Season the salmon with salt. Heat the oil in a sauté pan and place the salmon flesh side down. Cook for 5-6 minutes each side, or until done to your liking.
Step 4:
Spoon the pea purée onto a plate and top with the salmon. Spoon over the vinaigrette then top with the fresh herbs. Serve with asparagus, or your choice of side.
