Ingredients

Scale
  • 10 oz English peas boiled for 90 seconds and then placed in cold water bath
  • 1 tbsp + 7 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 5 large cloves of garlic, finely minced
  • ½ cup thinly sliced shallots
  • ½ lemon, juice
  • 4 sprigs of dill fronds
  • 2 tbsp capers with juice
  • Salt
  • 1 ¼ lb sockeye salmon fillet

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.
  2. To make the butter sauce, melt a tablespoon of butter in a small saucepan and add the garlic followed by shallots, and sauté until softened and very lightly golden.
  3. Place in the remaining 7 tbsps of butter. Once melted, pour in the fresh lemon juice and add the dill fronds, capers, and salt. Adjust seasoning to taste.
