    This baked salmon with white wine sauce is really the ultimate of all the ultimate spring recipes, because we are using two spring vegetables instead of one: peas and radishes!

    The humble radish is often overlooked. Have you been content just to think of radishes as a garnish or something on a crudité plate? Well, you're missing out if you chose the latter.

    The light white wine sauce lets the delicate flavors of the salmon, peas, and radishes come through. Just a hint of mustard, and a little brightness and bite from capers and fresh dill. (If you know me at all you know I love a caper-dill combo...)

    And this is ready in less than 30 minutes so you can treat yourself to something elegant on a weeknight with ease.

    Salmon with white wine sauce is a quick and easy spring recipe!

    • Quick prep: Just remove radish leaves and slice radishes in half.
    • Only 8 ingredients!
    • Make the sauce while the salmon bakes, so it's ready in 30 minutes!
    • The light white wine sauce lets all the flavors shine through.
    • Radishes and peas are some of the tastiest and most vibrant spring vegetables.
    • It's gluten free!

    Ingredients you'll need

    • Salmon: Look for salmon filets that are about the same size and thickness so they will all cook evenly.
    • Peas: If you're luck enough to have fresh peas from the garden great, but I used frozen here.
    • Radishes and radish leaves: You can use the traditional pink/red radishes or the lovely multicolored ones. And yes, save the leaves as we are also cooking those!
    • White wine: Something light like a pinot grigio or sauvignon blanc will make a great sauce without being overpowering.
    • Dijon mustard
    • Capers
    • Olive oil
    • Unsalted butter
    • Fresh dill
    • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

    Recommended tools and equipment

    • Sheet pan: For baking the salmon. Choose one that won't warp like Nordic Ware or Chicago Metallic.
    • Chef's knife: To prep the radishes.
    • Large deep skillet: To cook the radishes and white wine sauce.

    How to make baked salmon with white wine sauce

    Adapted from New York Times Cooking.

    Preheat the oven to 425 degrees.

    Step 1: Thaw the frozen peas

    Heat the frozen peas in the microwave for about one minute until just thawed and set aside.

    Step 2: Prep the radishes

    Using a good chef's knife, trim the greens from the radishes and set aside.

    Step 3: Bake the salmon

    Line a baking sheet with a piece of parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil on both sides of the salmon filets and season with salt and pepper. Place in the oven and bake to desired temperature, 8 - 12 minutes.

    Step 4: Cook the radishes

    While the salmon bakes, melt the butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add radishes, season with salt and pepper, and cook until tender, about 8 minutes.

    Step 6: Add the peas and serve

    Add the peas, dill and radish leaves and cook just until the radish leaves wilt and the peas are warmed through. Taste for seasoning.

    Transfer the salmon to 4 plates and divide the vegetables and pan sauce evenly. Top with more fresh dill if desired and serve.

    Tips for salmon with white wine sauce and peas

    • This recipe cooks very quickly. I recommend getting all of your ingredients measured and ready before you start cooking. I like to use little glass bowls like these when I'm prepping my ingredients. 
    • Be sure to remove the pan from the heat as soon as the radish greens are wilted and the peas are warmed through to ensure that they both retain their beautiful bright green color. 
    • If you don't like dill, you can substitute parsley instead. 

    FAQ

    Can you cook radishes?

    Yes, yes, yes! You can cook radishes! Radishes can be sautéed, roasted, braised and more, and they complement lots of different flavor profiles. The flavor turns milder and slightly sweet. When using radishes in recipes, think of them like a carrot or a potato.

    Can you eat radish greens?

    Yes, again, yes! You can eat radish greens, so don't waste them. Try wilting them just like spinach and use accordingly.

        Hi Natalie,

        The mint is a perfect idea! And yes, I think the radishes and peas would go well as a side dish with so many different proteins. I love hearing about how you made it your own!

        Thanks for reading and trying my recipes!

        Debra
