Citrus Fruit Salad with Salmon and English Peas

citrus salad postWhen there are blue skies and warm rays indulging in this citrus fruit salad is a must. Juicy, fruity and oh-so tasty, this is the ideal option for any summer dinner starter. 

Serves 4

Cooking time: 30 mins

What You’ll Need: 

  • 350g fillet skinless salmon
  • 2 blood oranges or 1 small pink grapefruit
  • 300g fresh English peas in the pod
  • 1 pomegranate
  • 80g pea shoots
  • Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 100ml crème fraîche
  • 100ml good-quality olive oil

What To Do: 

  • Cook the peas in boiling salted water for 3 minutes. Drain and chill under cold running water. Put half of the cooked peas into a blender, add the crème fraîche and season well with salt and pepper, then blend to a smooth purée for 2 minutes.
  • Remove the salmon from the freezer. Using a sharp knife, slice the fish thinly through the flesh against the grain – I allow 5 slices per person. Lay the slices flat on a tray.
  • Add the olive oil to the orange juice with some salt and pepper and mix thoroughly to make a vinaigrette.
  • Just 5 minutes before serving, brush some of the vinaigrette all over the salmon and toss the pea shoots quickly in the remainder.
