- 1/2 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons clarified butter
- 4 ounces dry white wine
- 6 tablespoons Citrus Honey Glaze
- 1 ounce brown butter
- 1 cup haricots verts (French green beans)
- 4 roasted Cipollini onions

- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions
Step 1
First prepare the Citrus Glaze:
Step 2
Combine the lemon juice, honey, star anise and cracked pepper in a medium saucepan and bring to a boil.
Step 3
Reduce the heat and simmer for 12- 15 minutes.
Step 4
Remove from the heat and allow it to steep for ten minutes.
Step 5
While the mixture steeps, prepare the lemon zest. (Avoid the white pith under the rind as it will give your dish a bitter after-taste)
Step 6
Strain anise and pepper from honey lemon mixture and discard solids.
Step 7
Fold in zest and reserve at room temperature.
Step 8
Prepare the salmon:
Step 9
Season the salmon fillet with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper on both sides.
Step 10
Place the clarified butter in a pre-heated skillet.
Step 11
Place the salmon fillet, flesh side down, over the butter in the skillet and sear the fish for four minutes, or, until golden brown and crisp.
Step 12
Place salmon skin side down in a pie pan with white wine.
Step 13
Brush the crisp side of the fish with one ounce of the citrus glaze and place it in a 400 degree oven.
Step 14
Roast the fish until cooked through, but moist (5-7 minutes depending on thickness).
Step 15
While the fish is roasting, sauté the green beans, almonds and Cipollini onions in a small sauté pan with half of brown butter.
Step 16
Place warm vegetables in the center of a hot plate, with all the green beans lined up in a row.
Step 17
Place the salmon on top of the vegetables.
Step 18
Drizzle the remaining ½ of glaze around the salmon and serve immediately.
