The lemony fish and minty peas combine for a fresh flavour explosion.

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

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.
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.
