Salmon in Lemon Brodetto with Pea Puree
Recipe courtesy Giada De Laurentiis

Ingredients
Lemon Brodetto:
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 shallot, diced
2 lemons, juiced
1 lemon, zested
2 cups chicken broth
1 tablespoon chopped fresh mint leaves

Pea Puree:
2 cups frozen peas, thawed (about 10 ounces)
1/4 cup fresh mint leaves

1 clove garlic
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan

Salmon:
1/4 cup olive oil
4 (4 to 6-ounce) pieces salmon
Kosher salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

To make the Lemon Brodetto, warm the olive oil in a
medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the shallots and saute until tender, about 7
minutes. Add the lemon juice, zest, and broth. Bring to a simmer, and keep warm,
covered, over low heat.

To make the Pea Puree, combine the peas, mint, garlic, salt, and pepper in a food
processor and puree. With the machine running, add the olive oil in a steady
drizzle. Transfer the pea puree to a small bowl and stir in the Parmesan. Set
aside.

To make the Salmon, warm the olive oil in a large, heavy skillet over high heat.
Season the salmon pieces with salt and pepper. Sear the salmon until a golden
crust forms, about 4 to 5 minutes on the first side. Flip the fish and continue
cooking until medium-rare, about 2 minutes more depending on the thickness of the

fish.

To assemble the dish, add the tablespoon chopped mint to the Lemon Brodetto and
divide between 4 shallow dishes. Place a large spoonful of Pea Puree into the
center of each bowl. Place a salmon piece atop each mound of Pea Puree. Serve
immediately.
