You can use any fish you want for this recipe. The pink salmon is pretty against the peas and the crispy skin is really great. Halibut, sea bass and grouper are great choices or even trout. The egg adds a lovely creaminess to the sauce. You could add almost any fresh herb you like – a bit of mint in the peas would be fantastic, for instance.
