Preparation
Sauté the vegetables

- Add the broccoli (halve if large) and sauté, 5 to 7 min., until beginning to brown.
- Add the string peas, ½ the lemongrass, ½ the spices and 2 tbsp water (double for 4 portions).
- Sauté, partially covered, 2 to 3 min., until the water has evaporated and the broccoli is tender; season with S&P.
Cook the salmon
- Meanwhile, pat the salmon dry; season with the remaining spices and S&P.
- In a medium pan (non-stick if possible), heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high.
- Add the salmon* and cook, 2 to 3 min. per side, until browned and cooked as desired.

Make the caramelized lemongrass topping
- Juice the lime.
