Ingredients

  • 1 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 6 large eggs
  • 5 cups green string beans
  • 4 medium red potatoes (flesh and skin)
  • 1 cup drained capers
  • 16 oz boneless salmon
  • 15 g anchovies - flat fillets in olive oil
  • 3 tsps whole grain dijon mustard
  • 5 tsps natural cane turbinado sugar
  • 3 fresh lemons
  • 129 g red onion
  • 908 g romaine & spring mix salad
  • 16 pitted greek kalamata olives
  • 1/4 tsp sea salt
  • 5 dashes black pepper
  • 1 cup english cucumber
  • 18 organic grape tomatoes
  • 68 g radishes

Directions

  • Place potatoes in a medium saucepan and add cold water to cover by an inch. Bring to a boil, season with salt, and cook for 15−20 minutes or until tender. Transfer potatoes to a plate.
  • Return water to a boil and cook string beans for 2 minutes or until tender. Transfer to a bowl of ice water and chill for 3 minutes. Transfer to paper towels and pat dry.
  • Boil eggs for 8 minutes. Transfer eggs to a bowl of ice water and chill for 5 minutes. Peel and set aside.
  • Heat 2 tbsps. olive oil in a separate saucepan. Add capers and cook until crispy. Transfer capers to paper towels. Allow the remaining oil in the pan to cool and set aside.
  • Pre-heat oven to 425˚F. Rub salmon all over with reserved caper oil and place on a rimmed baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper. Roast for 10−12 minutes or until medium-rare (fish will be slightly translucent in the center). Let it cool and set aside.
  • To make the dressing, mash anchovies, mustard, and sugar in a large bowl to form a coarse paste.
  • Remove peel and white pith from lemon. Working over a bowl, cut between membranes of lemon to release segments. Squeeze remaining juice from membranes into bowl, then discard membranes. Add shallots, then slowly whisk in remaining olive oil.
  • Halve reserved potatoes and eggs crosswise. Arrange everything on a platter and drizzle with dressing.
