Method

Cut the salmon into bite-size pieces, then make the dressing. Mix together the sesame oil, orange rind and juice, mustard, chopped tarragon and seasoning in a bowl. Set aside.

Heat the groundnut oil in a frying pan. Add the salmon pieces and fry for 3-4 minutes, until lightly browned but still tender inside.

While the salmon is cooking, blanch the green beans in boiling salted water for about 5-6 minutes, until tender yet crisp.

Add the dressing to the fried salmon, toss together gently and cook for 30 seconds. Remove the pan from the heat.

Arrange the salad leaves on four serving plates. Drain the beans and toss them over the leaves. Spoon over the salmon with the cooking juices and serve immediately, sprinkled with the sesame seeds.
