Salmon with pea & basil sauce

A fresh way to serve salmon, elegant enough for entertaining but also a tasty way of making sure the family are getting their Omega 3s from the fish. In the summer use fresh peas if preferred and if you wish, exchange the basil for mint. Serve with new potatoes and favourite vegetables.

• Preparation: 5 mins
• Cooking: 12 mins
• Serves: 4

What you need:

• 2 shallots, finely chopped
• 1 clove garlic, chopped
• 3 tsp olive oil
• 250g frozen peas
• 250ml Oatly Organic or Enriched Oat drink
• Small handful basil leaves
• 4 skinless salmon fillets approx 130g each

What you do:

1. For the pea sauce, gently fry the shallot and garlic in 2 tsp of the olive oil until softened but not browned. Pour in the Oatly and simmer for 3-4 minutes to reduce slightly, add the peas and cook 3-4 minutes. While the peas are cooking, slice each salmon portion into three slices, brush with the rest if the oil and season
2. Blend the peas in a food processor with the basil to make a smooth velvety sauce. Season and return to a clean pan to reheat gently. Heat a heavy based frying pan, when hot, fry the salmon slices for 1 minute each side.
3. Spoon a pool of pea sauce onto each plate and arrange the salmon on top.
