Ingredients
- 750 g (1½lb) salmon fillets
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp olive oil
- 1 shallot finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves crushed
- 750 g (1½lb) baby peas
- 2 tsp fresh dill finely chopped (or 1 tsp dried dill)
- 1 cup cream
- 2 tbsp sour cream
- 2 tsp lemon juice

Instructions
- Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. If you're using frozen salmon, allow to thaw in the fridge overnight.
- Drizzle with a few teaspoons of olive oil and season with salt.
- Place a large skillet or frying pan over medium-high heat and allow to preheat for a minute or two.
- Place the salmon into the pan, skin-side down, and allow to sear for 2-3 minutes until the skin is crisp and golden.
- Carefully flip over and allow to sear for another 2-3 minutes or until cooked to your preference.
- The salmon is cooked when the flesh easily flakes apart. Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside.
- In the same pan, add another tablespoon of oil then add the finely chopped shallot and garlic.
- Sauté for a minute or two then add the peas and dill. Pour in the cream and add the sour cream.
- Season with salt and pepper then bring to a simmer.
- Cook for 5 minutes or until the peas are cooked. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and stir into the sauce.
- Place the salmon back into the pan and allow to reheat.
