Method
- Preheat the oven. Season the salmon with salt and pepper, place on a baking tray (skin side down) and roast in the oven for 12 minutes, or until cooked through.
- While the salmon is in the oven, cook the new potatoes in lightly salted boiling water for 10 minutes, or until tender.
- Meanwhile, heat 1/2 tbsp olive oil in a frying pan and fry the onion for 2-3 minutes, or until soft. Add the cream and vegetable stock, bring to the boil, and simmer for 2-3 minutes until reduced by half. Add the lemon juice, season to taste with salt and pepper, and set aside. Remember to keep an eye on the salmon in the oven.
- Once the potatoes are cooked, lift them out of the water with a slotted spoon and mix in a bowl with 1/2 tbsp olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper and the mixed herbs. Use the water from the potatoes to cook the peas according to the packet instructions.
- To serve, lay the roasted salmon fillet on a plate with the new potatoes and peas, and pour over the sauce.
