How to Chop an Onion

Method

  • For the Salad

  • Boil a large pot of water and cook beans for 3 minutes. With 1 minute remaining, add asparagus (if using). Plunge beans and asparagus into cold water to stop the cooking process and retain the vibrant, green colour.

  • Meanwhile, roast the nuts in a large pan on medium heat without oil for 5-10 minutes until golden. Remove from heat and leave to cool, before chopping roughly.

  • Segment the mandarins with a knife and collect the juice in a bowl. Pour the juice over the beans. Place beans, asparagus and mandarin segments in a large bowl. Add minced garlic, nuts, red onion mint and coriander and mix gently.

  • Finally, blend oils and dress salad. Place on warm plates and season to taste with flaky sea salt.

  • For the Fish

  • Heat a large pan and add oil. Place fish skin side down. Pan fry for 2-3 minutes, depending on size. When golden and crispy, turn over and cook for another 1-2 minutes.

  • Add capers, mandarin juice and butter. Remove from pan and place on top of salad with the juice from the pan.
