Salmon and Spinach With Tartare Cream

English_Rose's Note:

This recipe is very good for entertaining and is easily doubled. Folding lemon juice, capers and chopped parsley through creme fraiche makes a quick and tasty sauce for salmon, trout or white fish.

• Total Time: 15 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 10 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 2

• salt and pepper
• lemon, wedges to serve

Directions:

1. Heat the oil in a pan, season the salmon on both sides then fry for 4 mins each side until golden and the flesh flakes easily.

3. Tip the leaves into the hot pan, season well then cover and leave to wilt for 1 min stirring once or twice.
4. Spoon the spinach onto plates then top with the salmon.
5. Gently heat the creme fraiche in the pan with the lemon juice, the capers and parsley then season to taste. Be careful not to let it boil.
