Pan Fried Salmon With Creamy Sun-Dried Tomato & Balsamic Gnocchi

Before you begin...

Get all your ingredients and equipment ready

Skim through these steps, then wash your fruit and veg

Note: Equipment and pan sizes vary. Make sure you cook food thoroughly (even if it takes you a little longer than 10 min)

Now, let's get started!

Heat a large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a generous drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat

Once hot, add your gnocchi and cook for 8-10 min or until beginning to crisp

Tip: Don't stir too often as this will prevent the gnocchi from crisping!

Meanwhile, heat a separate large, wide-based pan (preferably non-stick) with a drizzle of vegetable oil over a medium-high heat

Once hot, add your salmon fillet[s], season with a pinch of salt and pepper and cook for 9-10 min, turning once halfway, or until cooked through

Tip: Your fish is cooked once it turns opaque and flakes easily

Boil a kettle

Peel and roughly chop your garlic

Wash your spinach then add to a colander and pour boiled water all over it so that it starts to wilt

Rinse the wilted spinach under cold running water until it's cool

Once cool, squeeze as much water out of the spinach as you can

Dissolve your vegetable stock mix in 200ml [300ml] [400ml] boiled water

Add the chopped garlic and your balsamic sun-dried tomato paste and stir it all together – this is your sun-dried tomato stock

Once the gnocchi has started to crisp, reduce the heat to medium and add the sun-dried tomato stock and your crème fraîche

Add your blanched peas and the wilted spinach and cook for 1 min further or until warmed through – this is your creamy sun-dried tomato gnocchi

Tip: Add a splash more water if your gnocchi is looking a little dry!
