TRAY BAKED SALMON WITH OLIVES, GREEN BEANS, ANCHOVIES AND TOMATOES
The idea of this dish is to bake your salmon plainly with a little olive oil and sea salt. In the same tray, bake the tomatoes, olives and blanched green beans, laying anchovies over the beans. As the anchovies cook they fall apart, and as the olives roast they sort of infuse a smoky flavor with the tomatoes. This is a really choice combination - you must try it.

Steps:
- Tail the green beans, blanch them until tender in salted, boiling water, and drain. Put in a bowl with the cherry tomatoes and the stoned olives. Toss in the olive oil and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Give the salmon fillets a quick wash under the tap and pat dry with kitchen paper towels. Squeeze the juice of 1/2 a lemon over the fillets, on both sides, then season both sides with salt and pepper and drizzle a little olive oil over the top. Preheat the oven and a roasting tray at the highest temperature. Put your 4 fillets of salmon at 1 end of the roasting tray. Toss the basil into the green beans, olives and tomatoes and place this mixture at the other end of the tray. Lay the anchovies over the green beans. Roast in the preheated oven for 10 minutes, then remove from the oven and serve with lemon quarters.
- This is very tasty with some homemade mayonnaise or aioli.
- Smash up the garlic with the salt in a mortar and pestle (if you don't have a mortar and pestle you can very finely chop the garlic). Place the egg yolk and mustard in a bowl and whisk. Then start to add your olive oil bit by bit. Once you've blended in a half cup of the olive oil you can start to add the rest in larger amounts. When you've added it all, you can add the garlic and lemon (to taste) and any extra flavors such as basil, fennel tops, dill, chopped roast nuts. To finish just season to taste with salt, freshly ground black pepper and lemon juice. Yield: 8 servings
ANCHOVY LEMON DIP WITH GREEN BEANS
This dip has all the umami seductiveness of a bagna cauda. In August's heat, however, you'll be thrilled that it's a cool version and not too heavy-just thick enough to cling to green beans.

Steps:
- Stir together 2 tablespoons sour cream with water, anchovies, and garlic in a small saucepan, then cook at a bare simmer, whisking frequently, 10 minutes. Force through a fine-mesh sieve into a bowl.
- Whisk in mayonnaise, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, 1/4 teaspoon salt, remaining cup sour cream, and lemon juice (to taste). Chill, covered, at least 1 hour and up to 2 days.
- While dip chills, blanch beans in 3 quarts boiling water with 1 tablespoon salt 1 minute, then drain and immediately chill in an ice bath 5 minutes. Drain well and pat dry. Serve with dip.
GREEN BEANS WITH ANCHOVY BUTTER
Steps:
- Rinse anchovies, drain them well, and chop them finely. In a small skillet over low heat, melt the butter. Add the anchovies, and stir until they fall apart and the mixture is smooth. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- Steam the green beans until just tender, 7 to 10 minutes, depending on their size. Drain well, return the beans to the pan, and place over low heat. Add the anchovy butter. Stir for a minute or 2 until beans are hot and thoroughly coated with butter. Transfer them to a warmed serving dish, and serve immediately.

LEMONY WHITE BEANS WITH ANCHOVY AND PARMESAN
These white beans, adapted from Alison Roman's cookbook "Nothing Fancy" (Clarkson Potter, 2019), could potentially be a whole meal, but they are also great alongside another protein since they pull double duty as both starch and salad. While this dish is beautifully seasonally agnostic, it is a summery dream with grilled whole trout or lamb shoulder, and lots of cold red or white wine, preferably in the sunny outdoors.

Steps:
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the garlic. Cook, swirling the skillet occasionally until the garlic is pale golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes.
- Add the anchovies, capers and red-pepper flakes, swirling until the anchovies melt and sizzle, the capers pop slightly, and the red-pepper flakes toast and bleed into the oil, about 2 minutes.
- Add the beans and season with salt and pepper. Reduce the heat to medium-low and toss to coat the beans in all the garlicky business. Let them cook until the flavors have melded and beans no longer taste like they came from a can, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add half the escarole and toss to coat, letting it wilt ever so slightly. Transfer the beans and wilted escarole to a large serving platter or bowl, and mix in the remaining escarole. Scatter with the mint and parsley. Use a peeler or box grater to shave some Parmesan over all. Squeeze the lemon over everything just before serving.
Tips:
- Use fresh anchovies for the best flavor. If you can't find fresh anchovies, you can use jarred anchovies, but be sure to drain and rinse them well before using.
- If you don't have a food processor, you can mash the anchovies and lemon zest together with a fork.
- Be careful not to overcook the green beans. They should be tender-crisp, not mushy.
- Serve the dip with crackers, bread, or vegetables. You can also use it as a spread for sandwiches or wraps.
Conclusion:
Anchovy lemon dip with green beans is a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. It's perfect for parties or potlucks, and it's also a great way to get your kids to eat their vegetables. So next time you're looking for something tasty and healthy to serve, give this dip a try. You won't be disappointed!
