Stir fry of green peas with grilled salmon

Stir fry of green peas with grilled salmon

An unusual Indian recipe, subtly spiced and healthy to boot - you could try it with chicken instead of salmon

Method

  1. Cook the peas. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a wok and add the cumin seeds. As they darken, stir in the peas. Add a little water, the sugar and a pinch of salt and cook without a lid until the peas are soft. Remove from the heat and stir in the coconut.
  2. Now for the salmon. Heat a griddle pan over a high heat. Season the fish on both sides and brush with the remaining oil. Griddle or fry for 3-4 minutes on each side until cooked.
  3. Finish the dish. Stir the yogurt into the warm peas and season to taste. Serve with the salmon and new potatoes.

'Easy and tasty - it transformed dull peas. I used fat-free yogurt but would go for the richer Greek next time.'
