Salmon with Greens & Creme Fraiche

Serves 4

1 tbsp olive oil
1 leek, thinly sliced
9fl oz chicken or fish stock
4oz creme fraiche
5oz frozen peas
5oz frozen broad beans
4 skinless salmon fillets
small bunch chives, snipped
mash, to serve

Heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan with a lid.  Cook the leek for 5-10 mins until soft but not coloured, then pour in the stock.  Simmer for a few mins until reduced slightly then add the creme fraiche and season.  Cook for 1 min more.
Tip in the peas and beans, nestle in the salmon fillets, then turn down to a simmer and cover.  Cook for 12-15 mins, depending on the thickness of the salmon, until cooked through.  Sprinkle on the chives and serve with mashed potato.
