Method of Preparation:
– In a bowl add blanched yellow wax beans, french green beans, white coco beans, cranberry beans, fava beans and sugar snap peas. Chef Laurent likes this mix, but you can substitute any fresh seasonal blend. Add Cerignola olives and Fregola pasta. Toss it and set aside.
– Next, season a salmon filet with blackening spice. You can get the spice at any market. Make shallow incisions on the fat side so the fillet doesn’t draw up while cooking. Add sea salt and pepper on both sides
– In a hot pan, sear the salmon, skin side down, in olive oil. When the skin is crispy, turn it over to finish, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove from the pan and let it rest.
– Season the bean salad with cumin vinaigrette, add salt and pepper, and it’s ready to plate!
To Plate:
– Garnish the plate with lemon aioli, then place the bean salad in the center with the salmon on top. Fennel and onion salad finish off this delicious dish.
