Method

Preheat oven to 200°C/180°C fan-forced.
Heat oil in a large cast-iron or heavy-based ovenproof frypan over high heat. Add garlic and fennel, and cook, tossing gently, for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Add peas, stock, lentils and saffron, if using. Season and stir to combine. Bring to the boil, then remove from heat.
Season salmon all over. Place, skin-side down, over fennel mixture, then bake for 10-15 minutes, until salmon is medium-rare with an opaque outer edge and a center that is still slightly translucent and bright pink (or cook to your liking). Remove from oven and rest for 10 minutes, or until medium.
To serve, place the pan in the middle of the table and scatter with parsley and lemon zest. Serve with lemon halves.
