PAN-FRIED SALMON WITH BRAISED LITTLE GEM

Steps:

• Heat 1 tsp oil in a large lidded frying pan over a medium heat. Arrange the lettuce halves in the pan, cut-side down, and fry for 2 mins until beginning to brown. Pour in the stock, cover with the lid and cook for 6 mins.
• Meanwhile, season the salmon with a good pinch each of salt and pepper on both sides of the fillets. Heat the remaining oil in a second pan over a medium heat and fry the salmon, skin-side down, for 3 mins. Carefully flip using a fish slice and cook for 3 mins more until cooked through and the flesh easily flakes.
• Tip the peas and dill into the pan with the lettuce and cook for 2 mins, covered, until the lettuce is tender but still retains its structure. Arrange the salmon fillets and lettuce halves on serving plates.
• Stir the crème fraîche and mustard into the lettuce pan and cook over a low heat to warm through. Pour the sauce and peas over the lettuce and salmon.
