olive oil
lemon juice
garlic.

Steps:

  • Blanch green beans in boiling water, then plunge them into an ice bath to stop the cooking.
  • Toss with a vinaigrette made with olive oil, lemon juice and a tiny bit of minced garlic. (To turn this into a main dish, sear some tuna until crusty on the outside, but still raw in the middle. Cut into thick slices or chunks, and toss with the green beans and dressing.)

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Always prepare your ingredients and equipment before you start cooking, especially if you are making a dish with multiple components.
  • Cook the Arctic char fillets skin-side down: This will help to keep the fillets moist and flavorful.

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The fresher and more flavorful your ingredients are, the better your dish will be.
  • Taste your dish as you cook it: This will help you to adjust the seasonings as needed.
