Place the cooked peas into a small pan, add the butter and garlic and fry gently for 1-2 minutes. Add the cream, thyme, salt and freshly ground black pepper and simmer for two minutes.
  3. For the balsamic reduction, pour the balsamic vinegar into a small pan and simmer for ten minutes, or until reduced and sticky.
  4. To serve, spoon the peas onto a serving plate. Top with the chargrilled salmon and drizzle the balsamic reduction onto the plate.
