Crispy Salmon + Mushy Peas, did somebody say heaven?! I absolutely love salmon, so salmon with crispy skin doesn’t stand a chance around me. Paired with super simple mushy peas and potatoes YUM! Oh, and I mention you can have it on the table in 20 minutes?
ENJOY!
Ingredients
- 2 Atlantic Salmon Fillets – approx. 200g each, skin on, scaled and pin boned
- 2 tbs olive oil
- McCain Mini Roasts Italian Herbs – cooked as per packet instructions
- Salt and pepper
Ingredients – Mushy peas
- 2 cups of McCain Baby Peas
- 2 tbs of thickened cream
- 1 tbs of butter
- 2 tsp of fresh lemon juice
- 1 tbs of fresh mint – finely chopped
- 1 clove of garlic – crushed or grated
- Salt and pepper
Method
- Bring a pot of lightly salted water to the boil over medium high heat. Add McCain Baby Peas and cook for 3 minutes or until tender.
- Drain McCain Baby Peas and in the same saucepan, melt butter in the cream. Once melted, add McCain Baby Peas, mint, lemon and garlic and mash with a potato masher until chunky with small pieces of peas remaining. Season with salt and pepper to taste and keep warm.
- Meanwhile, place salmon, skin side up, on a plate. Drizzle with oil and rub salt into skin. Heat a large, non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add salmon, skin side down. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes or until skin is crisp. Turn, and cook, covered for 4 to 5 minutes for medium or until cooked to your liking.
- Spoon the mashed peas onto plates and top with the salmon, skin side up. Serve with McCain Mini Roasts Italian Herbs.
Enjoy!
