This dish showcases salmon and the bright, fresh flavor of early-summer sugar snap peas in a dish that's perfect for a lunch with friends or a light dinner eaten outdoors.
Chicken thighs are a natural for braising because they stay nice and juicy. Plus, the dark meat is a good counterpoint to the sweetness of peas and the slight acidity of the artichokes.
This recipe is a variation on mushy peas, a beloved British side dish. Ours have a much brighter color and flavor, making them sophisticated enough for entertaining.
