Skin then cut the fish into chunks (approx. 3cm square) and marinate for 15 minutes to an hour.

Cook the French and soya beans until just al dente, drain, plunge into cold water and drain.

Heat a non-stick frying pan (no need to use any oil), sear the fish quickly on each side, the
thin slices will only take about 20 seconds to cook.

Mix the dressing in a large bowl, and mix the salad leaves, beans, soya beans.

of each. Scatter the olives and garnish chopped herbs
