- Toast the hazelnuts in a dry skillet until golden and fragrant, then crush coarsely.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- Cut fish fillets into 1 cm-thick goujonnettes.
- Heat butter and olive oil in a skillet over low heat. Sear goujonnettes 30 seconds per side.
- Plate warm beans, top with alternating salmon and John Dory goujonnettes. Sprinkle with hazelnuts and chives.
