This is good family-friendly stuff. Easy to put together and nothing too challenging for junior palates.
Wine Suggestion: An alpine Chardonnay took our fancy tonight so we opened Cantina Colternezio’s Altkirch Chardonnay from the Südtirol – Alto Adige. With a lovely purity and precision this is both thirst quenching and comforting.
Roast salmon & potatoes with herby peas – serves 2 adults and 2 kids
- 500g baby potatoes, halved
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 500g single piece of skinless salmon fillet (try and get the middle, chunky bit from a side of salmon if you can)
- 2 lemons, halved
- 250g frozen peas
- 2 tbsp crème fraîche
- 1 tbsp chopped dill or mint
Heat the oven to 200C/180C/gas 6.
Boil the potatoes for about 10 minutes or until just tender, then drain and leave to steam-dry in the pot.
Toss the potatoes with the oil and butter, then tip onto a baking tray and roast for 20 minutes.
Push the potatoes aside and add the salmon to the tray, add the lemon halves and season everything with salt and black pepper. Roast for 15 minutes or until cooked through.
Simmer the peas for a couple of minutes, then drain and tip into a warmed bowl. Add the crème fraîche and herbs.
Flake the salmon into chunks and serve with the potatoes and peas.
