Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a small bowl, combine the vinegar and shallots with a pinch of salt and pepper. Slowly whisk in 6 tablespoons of the oil. Season with more salt and pepper if necessary. Refrigerate vinaigrette for at least 3 hours.

  2. Step 2

    Fill a bowl with ice water, and set aside. Bring a small pot of salted water to a boil, and add the haricots verts. Cook until tender, about 2 minutes. Drain well, and immediately plunge into the ice water to stop the cooking. Drain again. Toss the haricots verts with the sea beans, vinaigrette and parsley, and reserve.

  3. Step 3

    Season the salmon on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat a large skillet, preferably nonstick, over high heat. Add the remaining oil and then the salmon, skin side down. Cook until the skin is well browned and crisp, about 5 minutes. Carefully flip the salmon, and cook until medium rare, 3 to 4 minutes. Divide sea bean mixture among 4 serving plates. Lay 1 fillet on top of each bed, skin side up, and serve.

Loved it! Simple ingredients, exceptional flavor!

Simple, but effective. Used a tad more vinegar-didn't have parsley, so used basil.
