PEA SALAD WITH BASIL AND PEA SHOOTS
Peas embody spring to me, and there are so many shapes and sizes to choose from. Sugar snaps have a sweet and grassy flavor; snow peas have a wonderful crunch. I also love frozen peas. Defrosted and used as is, they add a starchy comfort that takes me to childhood. Small, simple touches make this salad come out better: adding a pinch of sugar to the peas enhances their sweetness, blanching and cooling them in an ice bath assures they are crisp and cold, and thoroughly drying them off before coating them in the vinaigrette prevents the flavors from diluting. When the peas are coated with the "bite" from the mustard and the saltiness of the capers, they come to life.

Steps:
- Make the vinaigrette: In a medium bowl, whisk together the Dijon mustard, red wine vinegar, lemon zest and juice. Add the capers, caper brine and a pinch of salt and pepper, to taste. Slowly whisk in the olive oil. Taste and reseason, only if needed. Set aside.
- Prepare an ice bath. Fill a large bowl halfway with ice cubes and add some cold water. Put a colander squarely inside the ice bath. The colander will keep you from having to pick the peas out from amongst the ice cubes in the ice bath.
- Blanch the peas: Bring a medium pot of water to a boil over medium heat. Add salt until the water tastes like seawater. Add the snow peas and cook until crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Remove the peas from the water with a strainer and transfer them to the colander inside the ice bath. Bring the water back up to a boil. Add the sugar snap peas and cook until crisp-tender, about 1 minute. Use the strainer to remove the peas and plunge them into the colander inside the ice bath. Allow them to sit in the ice water to assure they have cooled thoroughly. Discard the blanching water.
- Finish: Remove the peas from the ice bath and spread them out onto the kitchen towel over flat surface. Use another kitchen towel to gently pat them dry. Transfer the towel to a plate and put the peas into the refrigerator to chill until you are ready to serve.
- Assemble: Toss the sugar snap peas, snow peas and defrosted peas with a sprinkle of sugar, the vinaigrette and some salt and pepper. Mix in the pea shoots and basil leaves and pea shoots. Drizzle with olive oil and taste for seasoning. Transfer the salad to a platter and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Bring a medium pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Fill a medium bowl with ice water and set aside.
- Add the basil leaves, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 teaspoon shichimi togarashi, lemon zest, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper to a food processor and process until finely chopped, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Transfer to a small bowl and fold in the panko.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with 2 tablespoons honey. Press the breadcrumb mixture all over the tops of each fillet (about 1 tablespoon per fillet). Bake until the breadcrumbs are golden brown and the salmon is firm and flakes easily when pressed, 12 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, place the pine nuts in a single layer in a small nonstick skillet and cook, shaking frequently, until they're golden brown and smell nutty, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.
- Add the sugar snap peas to the boiling water and cook until very bright green and crisp tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to immediately transfer the peas to the ice water to stop the cooking. Drain the snap peas, then cut them into thirds on a deep bias.
- Put the lemon juice, mustard, vinegar, fish sauce, shallots, 1/4 teaspoon salt, a few grinds of pepper, the remaining 1 tablespoon of honey and the remaining pinch of shichimi togarashi in a large bowl. Use an immersion blender to mix and drizzle in the vegetable oil and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil until all the ingredients are emulsified.
- Fold in the snap peas until coated. Fold in the parsley leaves, toasted pine nuts and basil stems and serve alongside the salmon.

SPICED SALMON WITH SUGAR SNAP PEAS AND RED ONION
Seared sugar snap peas and red onions make a sweet accompaniment to silky salmon fillets in this lovely springtime one-pan meal. The salmon fillets, coated in a garlicky spice blend, are briefly browned, leaving fragrant, savory drippings in the pan. Those drippings then season the vegetables, infusing them as they cook. Keep an eye on the salmon, especially if you prefer it on the rare side. Thin fillets in particular are all too easy to overcook.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, stir together 1 tablespoon oil, garlic and baharat. Season salmon all over with salt and black pepper. Rub spice mixture all over salmon. Set salmon aside while slicing the onions and sugar snap peas.
- Cut the onions in half root-to-stem, then peel them and slice into 1/4-inch-thick half-moons. Trim the peas and cut them in half crosswise.
- In a large, preferably nonstick ovenproof skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil over high heat. Add fish, skin-side down if there's skin, and cook until browned, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer salmon to a plate, browned-side up. (Don't sear the other side; the salmon will finish cooking in the oven.)
- Reduce heat to medium and add the remaining tablespoon of oil to the skillet. Stir in onions and cook until lightly golden, 3 minutes. Add snap peas and a pinch each of salt and pepper, stirring everything to coat with pan juices. Cook until peas have softened and browned slightly, 5 to 7 minutes. Put salmon, browned-side up, on top of peas and transfer pan to the oven. Roast until fish is just cooked through, 5 to 8 minutes longer.
- Squeeze a little lime juice over salmon and transfer fish to serving plates. Stir herbs into peas and onions. Taste, and add more salt and lime juice, if needed. Serve with the salmon, with the lime wedges on the side.
GREEN GODDESS SALMON WITH POTATOES AND SNAP PEAS
A sheet pan and a broiler are the secret to many easy weeknight meals. In this particularly vibrant dish, they impart a complex grill-like flavor to salmon and potatoes, which are broiled simultaneously on the same sheet pan. While they cook, you'll blend together a lively green goddess dressing of fresh herbs, yogurt, mayonnaise, garlic and anchovies. When the oven timer chimes, toss the roasted potatoes with raw cucumbers and snap peas. Serve alongside the just-flaky salmon and dollop with the verdant dressing. The crunchy vegetables, warm potatoes, tender fish and creamy dressing make for an unexpected though delightful combination. (For the dressing, tarragon, dill, parsley or cilantro will provide a familiar flavor to this classic sauce, but mint or arugula will work, too.)

Steps:
- Heat the broiler to high with the rack about 6 inches from the broiler. On a sheet pan lined with a silicone mat or aluminum foil, toss the potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil, season with salt and pepper and spread out in an even layer. Broil until crispy and brown and just getting tender, about 10 minutes, turning with a spatula halfway through.
- Meanwhile, rub the remaining 2 tablespoons oil on both sides of the fish and season generously with salt and pepper. Remove the sheet pan from the oven, move the potatoes to the edges and nestle the fish between them, skin-side up. Broil until the skin is crispy, about 5 minutes. With a large spatula, flip the fish and continue to broil until the fish flakes easily but the center is still pink and glossy, 3 to 5 minutes. (If the potatoes are done after cooking the fish on the first side, pull them from the oven and transfer to a large serving bowl. If not, leave them until the fish is cooked to your desired doneness.)
- While the fish cooks, combine the parsley, mixed herbs, anchovy, garlic, lemon zest, yogurt and mayonnaise in a blender and purée until thick and uniformly green. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Remove the fish and potatoes from the oven. Scrape the potatoes into a large bowl and toss with the snap peas and cucumbers; squeeze half the lemon over the top, season with salt and pepper and toss again. Cut the remaining lemon half into 4 wedges.
- Transfer the fish and vegetables to a platter and serve the dressing on the side; or divide the fish and vegetables among four plates and dollop with dressing. Sprinkle with dill and serve with lemon wedges.
