Method

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. Stir in the stock, then bring back to the boil, cover and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes until the potatoes are just tender.
  4. Meanwhile, combine all the persillade ingredients in a bowl, seasoning to taste. Set aside until ready to serve.
  5. 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.
  6. Divide the stew between shallow bowls, then spoon over a little of the persillade sauce.

  1. 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!
