Preparation
- Combine the grapeseed oil and ground curry in a Ziploc bag, add the salmon, then remove as much air as possible from the bag. Marinate 24 hours in the refrigerator.

- Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).
- Sweat the shallots for 5 minutes in a hot, oiled nonstick skillet. Add the peas and sauté them a few minutes, then set aside in a bowl. Add a drizzle of oil and season.
- In another nonstick skillet, sear the salmon on one side for a few minutes until it is browned. Bake for about 7 to 8 minutes.
- For plating, place a spoonful of cheese on the dish, then add the pea mixture and the marinated salmon. Sprinkle with lemon zest.
