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

Directions

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.

Tasty!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I enjoyed this very much. But, I did cook my peas for 4 minutes before pureeing with the rest of the ingredients. Also, the... lemon sauce was too watery and made the meal less appetizing...very tasty, but not as appealing. I think I will try pouring some sauce over the salmon next time and just serving the puree on the side.Read more

Devine Dish!!!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I made this dish yesterday for my husband and he loved it. He is a meats and potatoes kind of guy so he had doubts as to... whether he would like pureed peas. He licked the plate and asked for more! As always Giada delivered. Keep up the great work. Read more

So good So good!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Stunningly great! After reading all of the reviews, the biggest complaint was the soupy mess that the Brodetto made so I made... it into a side of couscous. I followed the recipe for the brodetto but halved the amount of lemon and added to couscous right to the pan to cook. It turned out great, defiantly keeping this one! Read more

This is so easy you can whip it up in no time at all. I really love the mint because it adds a sweet flavor to the peas. I... love how all the flavors come together. Read more
