Salmon With Peas And Mashed Potatoes - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 2/3 lb medium potatoes, peeled and chopped
6 tbsp butter
4 None shallots, peeled and thinly sliced
1 cup chicken stock
4 oz frozen peas
1 tbsp fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
4 (7 oz) salmon fillets
1 tbsp olive oil
1/2 cup milk, warmed

Preparation

Boil or steam potatoes until soft then drain.
Meanwhile, heat 1 1/2 tbsp butter, add shallots and cook, stirring, until soft. Add stock and peas and simmer, uncovered, until tender. Add parsley and season. Add another 1 1/2 tbsp butter.
Rub salmon skin with a little salt. Heat oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Place salmon, skin side down, in pan and cook for about 3 mins, uncovered, until skin is crisp and browned. Turn and cook for 1 min, or until salmon is cooked to your liking.
Mash potatoes with milk and remaining butter until smooth. Season. Divide between serving plates. Arrange pea mixture around and top with salmon. Serve.
