Technically I’m not sure you can call this salmon salad nicoise. Tuna instead of salmon – that would be closer. Add some anchovies. Then it would be nicoise. But it’s in the ballpark – riffing on the concept. And it’s a dead easy, tasty weeknight meal. For this dish I like my fish a bit translucent. That’s me. Do as you like it. If you like sushi – go for translucent. Much better flavour and texture I think. Try it sometime. You might surprise yourself. If you don’t like it, just throw it back into the pan and cook it some more. The potatoes and beans will keep just fine. Try this dish when the vegetables are at their peak. This is simple food. There is nowhere to hide bad ingredients. Cook each ingredient separately, toss the vegetables in a simple dressing. Garnish with the eggs and olives. Enjoy!
