Ingredients

4 Salmon Fillets - with skin on
2 tbsp Butter
1 clove Garlic - crushed
½ Lemon - juice only
1 cup Vegetable Stock
1 cup Heavy Cream (Double Cream)
½ cup Grated Parmesan
1 cup Peas
4 cups Baby Spinach
1 tbsp Dill - chopped
Lemon Wedges - optional for serving

Instructions

In a large frying pan or skillet, sear the salmon skin side down over a medium high heat in the butter. Let it cook for around 4-6 minutes on this side, carefully flip over and finish cooking for around 1-2 minutes on the other side (depending on thickness).
Remove salmon and reserve on a plate, covering with foil to keep warm.
In the same pan, stir in the garlic, then the lemon juice. Let it bubble for a minute or two.
Add the stock, bring to a boil and turn down to a simmer for a further 5 minutes to allow the flavors to come together.
Stir in the cream and the parmesan cheese. Mix gently until it has melted.
Add the frozen peas.
Stir in the spinach until just wilted.
Add the salmon back to the pan and re-heat for a moment or two.
Garnish with chopped dill.
Serve with lemon wedges.
