Overall, I thought this was a good recipe. The salmon was cooked well and the peas were creamy. However, I would have liked the peas to have more flavor.

The herbed mashed peas were a bit bland for my taste. I added some garlic and salt to them and they were much better.

I followed the recipe exactly and the salmon came out overcooked. I think next time I'll cook it for a shorter amount of time.

This dish was easy to make and turned out great. The salmon was flaky and moist, and the peas were creamy and flavorful.
