Directions:


For marinading the fish:

In a bowl combine the marinade ingredients. 

In a casserole dish spread half the marinade then add the salmon then top with the second half of marinade. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

While the fish marinates make the vinaigrette. 


For the Cilantro lime vinaigrette:

In a small bowl reserve 2 tbls of the stock to use with the arrowroot.

In a medium sauce pan add the remaining stock and bring to a boil.

Combined the reserved 2 tbls of the stock with the arrowroot to form a paste.

Once the stock comes to a boil stir in the arrowroot mixture. Bring it to a boil stirring consistently until the stock thickens maybe two minutes. 

Remove from heat and stir in the lime juice then cool. 

Gradually whisk in the oils then add the salt and cilantro.


For the white bean stew:

Purée 2 cups of the cooked beans then combine with the remaining whole beans.

Heat the oil in a stockpot. Sauté the onion, peppers, jalapeño, and garlic sauté until onions are translucent. 

Add the bean mixture, vinegar, tomatoes and cilantro and sauté for another 4-5 minutes


For the jicama salad:

To a non-stick sauté pan, add the olive oil then add the jicama and haricot vert. Sauté until slightly softened but still crisp. 

Keep warm 


Grill the fish:

Remove the fish from the marinade and shake off any excess liquid. 

On a stove top grill, an outside grill, or a large sauté pan add the fish and grill for about 3-4 minutes then turn over and cook for an additional 3 minutes (depending on doneness and thickness of the fish). 


To serve:

On a plate add a scoop of the white bean stew then the fish add the jicama salad on top of the fish then sprinkle the vinaigrette on top of both the jicama salad and fish.
