Ingredients

12 very small new potatoes
3 cups sugar snap peas, stemmed and strung
1 teaspoon olive oil
4 4-ounce pieces of salmon fillet
1/2 cup white wine
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
2 tablespoons buttermilk
Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste

Steps:

Place the potatoes in a medium-size saucepan and cover with cold water. Cook over medium heat until tender, about 12 minutes. Drain and keep warm. Meanwhile, bring a medium-size saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the sugar snaps and blanch for 3 minutes. Drain. Toss with the potatoes and keep warm while preparing the salmon.
Heat a large, heavy-bottomed nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot. Add the olive oil. Add the salmon and saute until just cooked through, about 2 1/2 minutes per side. Transfer the salmon to the center of a serving platter and keep warm. Add the wine to the pan and cook, stirring, until reduced to about 2 tablespoons. Stir in the dill. Pour the liquid into a small bowl. Whisk in the buttermilk and season with salt and pepper. Pour the sauce over the salmon. Place the potatoes and sugar snaps in a ring around the salmon and serve immediately.
