Melt 4 tablespoons butter and 1 tablespoon Fustini&rsquo,s Herbs de Provence olive oil in a large skillet and add peas and beans. Heat through and add sugar snap peas. Cook until just hot and season with salt and pepper. To serve, spoon some hot pea broth on the bottom of each serving plate, place some of the beans and peas in the middle and top with a salmon fillet, skin side up, and garnish with some grape tomatoes and more fresh thyme.
- Heat Fustini&rsquo,s Single Varietal olive oil in a large pot over moderate heat and add garlic and shallot. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring frequently. Add leek and fennel and cook another minute.
