Niçoise Salad

Method

 
1. For the sauce: heat the fish stock and double cream in a saucepan with the mustard and anchovies. Simmer for 3-4 minutes, then stir in the butter. Using a stick blender, process the mixture to a thick foam consistency. Season and set aside.

2. For the salad: heat a little olive oil in a large frying pan and add the potatoes and cherry tomatoes. After a couple of minutes add the olives, beans and eggs and toss gently for a couple more minutes. Take the salad off the heat and stir in the basil.

4. To serve, place the sea bass on the top of the salad, spoon over the foam and add a few sprigs of fresh basil and a drizzle of olive oil.
