  • Remove salmon and reserve on a plate, covering with foil to keep warm.
  • In the same pan, stir in the garlic, then the lemon juice. Let it bubble for a minute or two.
  • Add the stock, bring to a boil and turn down to a simmer for a further 5 minutes to allow the flavors to come together.
  • Stir in the cream and the parmesan cheese. Mix gently until it has melted.
  • Add the frozen peas.
  • Stir in the spinach until just wilted.
  • Add the salmon back to the pan and reheat for a moment or two.
  • Garnish with chopped dill.
  • Serve with lemon wedges.
