This salmon and spring vegetable dish is inspired by the fish stews from the Normandy and Brittany coastline. Persillade is a parsley, lemon and garlic sauce or dressing that cuts through the rich creaminess of the fish stew and is drizzled on top to serve.

Method
- For the stew, heat the oil in a deep frying pan (one with lid) or a shallow saucepan, then gently fry the onion, leek and thyme with a pinch of salt and pepper over a medium heat for 6-8 minutes until starting to soften.
- Add the new potatoes, stirring well, then pour in the wine. Bring up to the boil and cook for 2-3 minutes until the wine has reduced.
- Stir in the stock, then bring back to the boil, cover and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are just tender.
- Meanwhile, combine all the persillade ingredients in a bowl, seasoning to taste. Set aside until ready to serve.
- Combine the cream and mustard, then stir into the pan. Arrange the salmon fillets in the pan, pressing them down gently between the vegetables. Cover and simmer for a further 5 minutes. Remove the lid, add the peas and cook, uncovered, for a final 2-3 minutes until the peas are heated through. Adjust the seasonings to taste.
- Divide the stew between shallow bowls, then spoon over a little of the persillade sauce.

This has to be one of my all-time favourite dishes. I can’t get enough of it! It’s a ‘2-day’ dish for us, and I freshly cook the other 2 salmon fillets the following day with a little more stock. The persillade takes the whole thing to a new dimension. YUMMMM!
