Method

Heat the oven to 220°C/200°C fan/ gas 7. Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Reduce the heat to a simmer, then cook the potatoes for 10-12 minutes or until the point of a sharp knife slips in easily. Drain well.
Meanwhile, make the guacamole: boil the peas for 2 minutes in a pan of salted water. Drain the peas and whizz with the remaining guacamole ingredients – you can do this in a mini blender or in a bowl using a stick blender. Add a little water if you need to loosen the mixture, then season well and set aside.
Put the cooked potatoes in a casserole or roasting tin. Crush gently with the back of a spoon, then drizzle over the olive oil, crumble over the feta and sprinkle with half the sumac. Roast for 10 minutes, then remove the casserole/tin from the oven and set the salmon on top. Sprinkle with the remaining sumac and return the dish/tin to the oven for 10-12 minutes more, or until the fish is just cooked.
