Ingredients

• 12 slices of lemon


• 4 x 120g skinless salmon fillets


• 1 tablespoon olive oil

Minted crushed peas

• 1 tablespoon olive oil


• 3 spring onions, sliced


• 450g frozen peas, thawed


• 1 cup (250ml) Massel vegetable liquid stock


• 1 teaspoon caster sugar


• 1/4 cup roughly chopped mint leaves


• 1/3 cup grated parmesan

Method

• 
  
  
  Step 1
  
  
  
  
  For minted crushed peas, heat oil in a saucepan over medium-low heat, add spring onions and cook for 1 minute. Increase heat to medium-high and add peas, stock, sugar and mint, and cook for 5 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/3 cup (80ml) of the liquid, then add back to pea mixture. Roughly mash or pulse in a processor to roughly chop. Stir in cheese, then cover and set aside.

  Step 2
  
  
  
  
  Place lemon, slightly overlapping, on top of each fillet. Heat oil in a large non-stick frypan over high heat. Carefully add fillets, lemon-side down, and cook for 3 minutes or until lemon begins to caramelise. Carefully turn over and cook for a further 2-3 minutes. Serve on peas.
