Number Of Ingredients 8

Ingredients

2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
2 teaspoons minced shallot
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
7 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
4 ounces haricots verts (about 1 1/4 cups), trimmed
2 ounces sea beans (about 2/3 cup), trimmed
2 tablespoons chopped Italian parsley
4 6-ounce fillets wild salmon, skin on

Steps:

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.
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.
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.
