'simple' salmon supper recipe

Fresh salmon is Tesco fishmonger, Liam's, favourite, and this easy salmon supper is his go-to recipe when he needs something quick and attractive within the week. Ready in only 30 mins, he loves how the tangy crème fraîche sauce and smoky bacon and pea potatoes complement the fish without overpowering the salmon's natural flavour - a tip he likes to expire to customers. Luckily, he gets to share his knowledge and keenness with them a day future .

Ingredients

• 500g new potatoes
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 4 wild sockeye salmon fillets (about 130g each), from the fish counter
• 60g smoked bacon lardons
• 200g frozen peas
• 4 spring onions, finely sliced
• 200ml crème fraîche
• ½ tsp English mustard
• 1 tbsp dill, finely chopped, plus extra to garnish
• 1 tbsp drained capers, roughly chopped
• ½ lemon, dig wedges, to serve

Method

1. Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Cook the potatoes during a pan of boiling water for 20-25 mins, until tender. Drain and return to the pan. Using the rear of a fork, lightly crush the potatoes.
2. Meanwhile, rub 1 tbsp of the oil over the salmon fillets, placed on a baking sheet lined with foil and season. Roast within the oven for 8-10 mins, until cooked through.
3. Heat a non-stick frypan over a high heat. Add the lardons and stir-fry for 4-5 mins, until crisp. Add the potatoes and fry for 1 min to colour. Mix within the peas and cook, stirring occasionally, for 1-2 mins until defrosted and heated through.
4. Heat the remaining oil during a separate frypan over a medium heat. Add the spring onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2-3 mins to melt . Mix within the crème fraîche, mustard, dill and capers, adding a touch of water if the sauce seems a touch thick. Season and convey to the boil then remove from the warmth .
5. To serve, divide the salmon and potatoes between 4 plates and spoon over the sauce. Garnish with a touch chopped dill and lemon wedges on the side.

Little help
You can use any salmon fillets during this recipe, but fresh wild sockeye is Liam’s recommendation.
