Prep Time: 10 Minutes

Cook Time:10 Minutes

Yield: 2 Servings

Difficulty: Easy

INGREDIENTS

2½ Cups fresh or frozen green peas

¼ Cup fresh mint leaves kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

4 strips bacon, chopped into

½" pieces 1 large shallot,

minced 6 oz salmon,

patted dry and skin removed 4 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined

flaky sea salt (optional, for serving)

 DIRECTIONS

In a large Swiss Diamond pot of salted boiling water, blanch the peas until bright green and soft, about 3 minutes. Strain peas, reserving a ½ cup of the peas and return the rest back to the pot. Using an immersion blender, drizzle in ¼ to ½ cup of water to reach a split pea consistency. Add the mint leaves, a large pinch of salt and a pinch of black pepper; blend until combined. Set aside but keep warm. In a large Swiss Diamond skillet over medium heat, cook the bacon until the fat is rendered, 4 to 6 minutes. Remove and pour out all but 1 tablespoon of fat, reserving the remaining fat and setting aside. Add the shallot and sauté for about 30 seconds. Add the ½ cup of reserved peas along with bacon. Cook for about 30 seconds more, then remove but keep warm. In the same Fry pan, warm 2 tablespoons of the reserved fat over high heat until just barely smoking, then add the salmon and cook for about 3-4 minutes. Add the shrimp and flip the salmon. Cook until salmon and shrimp are cooked through. Serve the salmon with the pea puree, a sprinkle of the bacon mixture and flaky sea salt if desired.
