Pan Seared Salmon With Creamy Peas Recipes

CREAMED SALMON AND PEAS

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large pan, add flour and cook over medium heat until light brown and pasty (1-2 minutes).
• Slowly add milk and whisk until all flour bits are broken up. Continue to whisk while milk comes to a boil and thickens, and add salt and pepper to taste.
• When cream sauce is slightly thickened, add salmon and peas and continue to cook until sauce is thickened up and the salmon and peas are heated through. Stir in lemon juice and dill.
• Serve over hot white rice, toasted bread, a hot biscuit or puff pastry.

SALMON PATTIES WITH CREAMED PEAS

Steps:

• PATTIES: Drain liquid from salmon and reserve for sauce.
• Remove bones and skin, and flake salmon.
• Mix all patty ingredients together.
• Form into 4 patties.
• Dip both sides in flour.
• In frying pan, heat oil and fry patties over medium heat until lightly browned on both sides- about 10 minutes.
• SAUCE: While patties are cooking, place peas in colander and rinse with hot water to defrost.
• Drain In saucepan or skillet, melt butter; with whisk, stir in flour.
• Gradually whisk in 1/4 cup reserved salmon liquid and milk, whisking to form a creamy sauce.
