  • 1 small bouquet savory
  • 2 tablespoons chopped chives
  • 50 g shelled hazelnuts

  • 6 tablespoons sunflower oil

Preparation Time

Difficulty: Intermediate

  1. Toast the hazelnuts in a dry skillet until golden and fragrant, then crush coarsely.
  2. Shell the broad beans. For thick skins, blanch beans 2 minutes in boiling water, cool in ice water, and slip off skins by pressing between thumb and forefinger.
  3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add beans and savory bouquet; cook uncovered a few minutes until tender. Drain, discard savory, and transfer to a bowl.
  4. In a small saucepan, combine vinegar, salt, crushed Szechuan pepper, sunflower oil, and hazelnut oil. Warm gently, cool, then pour 3/4 over beans. Toss and set aside.
  5. Cut fish fillets into 1 cm-thick goujonnettes.
  6. Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over low heat. Sear goujonnettes 30 seconds per side.
  7. Plate warm beans, top with alternating salmon and John Dory goujonnettes. Sprinkle with hazelnuts and chives.
