Method

  1. Heat the oil in an ovenproof frying pan over a medium heat, add the bacon and cook, stirring, for 5 minutes, until crispy. Remove from the pan and drain on kitchen paper.
  2. Season the salmon and add to the frying pan, skin-side down. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the skin is crisp and golden. Turn the heat off, turn the fish over and leave to cook for 3 minutes in the residual heat. Remove the salmon fillets from the hob, cover loosely with foil and set aside.
  3. Make the vinaigrette. Put all the ingredients in a clean screw-top jar. Put on the lid and shake thoroughly.
  4. Cook the potatoes in boiling salted water for 12 minutes, adding the peas for the last minute. Drain. Spoon the potatoes and peas onto plates and sprinkle over the bacon and tarragon. Top with a salmon fillet.
