Ingredients

For the Salad

250 g/ 9 oz Baby potatoes
200 g/ 7 oz Salmon fillet skin removed, raw or cooked
60 g/ 2 oz Peas fresh or frozen
60 g/ 2 oz Lambs lettuce

For the Salad Dressing

90 g/ 3 oz Crème fraîche half fat is fine
½ teaspoon dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Fresh horseradish root, finely grated
1 teaspoon Lemon juice
5 Sprigs dill

Instructions

Begin by cooking the potatoes and peas. Cut in half and boil in salted water for 15-20 minutes until tender. Drop the peas into the pan for the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain and set aside to cool
If the salmon needs cooking either poach or microwave it (see notes for details). Set aside to cool and flake into mid-sized pieces
When ready to serve divide the lambs lettuce, peas, potatoes and salmon between 2 plates
Make the dressing by combining the crème fraîche, grated horseradish, mustard, lemon juice. Pick the fronds from the dill sprig and chop roughly with a sharp knife. Stir through the dressing, then taste and season to taste. This dressing is quite thick - add a splash of water for a looser version
Serve the dressing alongside the salad plates and allow diners to add their own

Notes

To cook the salmon in a microwave, lay in a dedicated fish steaming dish or a heatproof dish, squirt a little lemon juice on top and sprinkle with black pepper. Cover tightly and cook on moderate heat for 3-4 minutes. Check that the salmon is cooked through, microwaving for another minute if required

To poach the salmon in a pan on the stove begin by heating water with a squeeze of lemon juice in a medium-sized lidded pan. When the water reaches 90-95C/ 194-203F gently lower the salmon in and cook on a gentle simmer for around 8 minutes. Lift out with a slotted spoon, check it is cooked through and set aside to cool down (or immerse back in the water if it needs further cooking.
