- Heat the oil in a heavy skillet and fry the seaweed for one minute. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- Prepare the vegetables. Simmer the first six ingredients together in boiling, salted water for 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and mash. Season to taste and add the olive oil and heavy cream. Mix well and keep warm.
- Saute the shallots over medium heat in the oil until caramelized (about 10 to 15 minutes). Sprinkle with flour and stir well. Add the fish stock and cook slowly over moderate heat, stirring until any lumps have disappeared. Season to taste with salt, add the crushed peppercorns and vinegar and simmer five more minutes. Set aside and keep warm.

Steps:
- Prepare steamer basket: Bring wine and water to a simmer in a large skillet or wok. Meanwhile, line the top of a small steamer basket with 1 lettuce leaf and a dill sprig. Season both sides of the salmon fillet with salt and pepper and place on top of the lettuce, then place remaining dill sprig over fish. Place the remaining lettuce leaf in the bottom basket and then top with cabbage "cup." Place the peas in the cup. Dot peas evenly with butter and season with salt.
- Steam fish and peas: When the liquid in the skillet is boiling, set the basket with the peas in skillet, rest the salmon basket on top, then secure bamboo lid tightly in place. Steam until peas are just tender and bright green and fish is evenly opaque throughout, 7 to 9 minutes (you'll have to remove the basket to check).
- Meanwhile, make sauce: Whisk together yogurt, lemon juice, and salt to taste. Serve salmon, cabbage, and peas immediately, with yogurt sauce on the side.
Tips:
- To ensure the salmon is cooked evenly, make sure the fillets are of uniform thickness. If necessary, use a sharp knife to trim the fillets to an even thickness.
- When searing the salmon, be sure to use a well-seasoned skillet over medium-high heat. This will help to create a nice crust on the outside of the salmon while keeping the inside moist and flaky.
- Do not overcrowd the skillet when searing the salmon. This will prevent the salmon from cooking evenly and will also make it more difficult to get a good crust.
- Use a gentle touch when flipping the salmon. This will help to prevent the salmon from breaking apart.
- When making the herbed mashed peas, be sure to use fresh herbs. This will give the peas a more vibrant flavor.
- If you do not have any fresh herbs on hand, you can use dried herbs instead. However, be sure to use only half the amount of dried herbs as you would fresh herbs.
- Serve the seared salmon over the herbed mashed peas immediately. This will ensure that the salmon is hot and flaky and that the peas are still bright green.
Conclusion:
This recipe for seared salmon on herbed mashed peas is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for a special occasion dinner. The salmon is cooked to perfection and the herbed mashed peas are a flavorful and creamy accompaniment. This dish is sure to impress your guests and is a great way to enjoy fresh, seasonal ingredients.
