- 8 ounces fresh English peas
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces, divided

- 1/2 cup dry white wine, such as chardonnay
- 3 tablespoons fresh dill, torn
Directions
Step 1 -Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Step 2 -Lightly grease a small baking sheet.
Step 3 -Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and season evenly with the coriander, the salt, and the pepper.
