   Sauté the Leeks and Snow Peas

   In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced leeks and sauté until soft, about 5 minutes. Add snow peas and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from skillet and set aside.

3. 3

   Make the Tarragon Butter

   In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Stir in chopped tarragon and cook for 2 minutes. Set aside.

   Sear the Salmon

   In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and heat over medium-high heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Add salmon to the skillet and sear for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through.

   Combine and Serve

   Plate the seared salmon, alongside the sautéed leeks and snow peas, and drizzle the tarragon butter over the top. Serve with the boiled new potatoes on the side.
