Wild Salmon with English Peas and Mustard Beurre Blanc image

Blanched English peas are scattered around a simple roasted side of wild salmon. Beurre blanc, served on the side, is essentially a warm vinaigrette made with butter instead of oil. Finish this dinner dish with a sprinkling of chives and-if you have them-a few flowering pea shoots.

Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup shelled green peas (from 1 pound in pods), or 1 cup frozen peas, thawed
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 side wild sockeye salmon (1 1/4 pounds)
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
1 shallot, minced
3/4 cup dry white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
1/4 cup champagne vinegar
1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
1 stick cold unsalted butter, cut into tablespoons
2 tablespoons finely sliced chives, for serving
Flowering pea shoots, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Blanch fresh peas in a medium pot of salted boiling water until bright green and just tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to an ice-water bath and let cool completely. Drain. (If using frozen peas, skip this step.)
  • Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Rub salmon on both sides with oil and season with salt and pepper. Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-side down. Roast until medium-rare, 10 to 12 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, in a small saucepan, combine shallot, wine, and vinegar. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until liquid is reduced to about 2 tablespoons.
  • Reduce heat to low. Whisk in mustard to combine, then whisk in butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, adding each piece as soon as previous one melts. Season with salt and pepper. (If not serving right away, keep beurre blanc warm over a pan of simmering water; do not let sauce simmer.)
  • Arrange salmon on a platter and top with peas. Sprinkle with chives, top with pea shoots, and serve, with warm beurre blanc alongside.

Overall, this was a great recipe. The salmon was cooked perfectly and the sauce was very flavorful. I would definitely recommend this recipe to anyone who loves salmon.

This recipe was a disaster. The salmon was dry and the sauce was curdled. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my sauce didn't turn out right. It was too thick and didn't have much flavor.

This recipe was a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more herbs and spices next time I make it.

I accidentally overcooked the salmon, but the sauce was still very good. I'll be sure to be more careful next time.

This dish was a bit too salty for my taste. I think I'll use less salt next time I make it.

I'm not a big fan of beurre blanc sauce, but I really enjoyed the sauce in this recipe. It was light and flavorful, and it complemented the salmon perfectly.

I substituted frozen peas for fresh peas and it worked out great. The sauce was also very good, but I added a little more mustard than the recipe called for.
