Home cooked Salmon and Pea Salad

Matt asked me if I wanted to try to cook salmon this past weekend. I said I have never tried but that I would take on the challenge. Found this recipe and went for it!

Salmon with Harissa
http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Salmon-with-Harissa/Detail.aspx

Went to Whole Foods and found a lovely fillet of Salmon. For those who don't know, like myself one fillet is good for two people.

The recipe is really simple, just some Harissa (a hot chili sauce that comes in a can), mayo,  lemon, onion, paprika, OJ and a dash of white wine. Flynn was very interested in checking my quality of work.
 The Pea salad was also really easy but be sure to go to a grocery store where the staff can help you determine the difference between snow peas, snap peas and regular shelled peas. Lots of peas here people!  If you don't like capers, do what I did, just use some good olives from your store's olive bar.

Bam! Done! It was really delicious if I do say so myself. Matt loved it!!!!
He said 5 out of 5 forks! Wowie!!! Going to keep this recipe around.
