Make the white bean–artichoke salad

  • Peel the shallots and cut them crosswise into ¼-inch-thick slices. Separate the slices into rings.
  • Coarsely chop the artichoke hearts.
  • Rinse the white beans.
  • Juice the lemon. [Juice 1 lemon; save the remaining lemon for another use.]
  • Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.
In a medium [large] frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] oil until hot but not smoking. Add the shallots, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the artichokes and beans and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the parsley and 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] lemon juice. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Finish the Dijon dressing

In a small bowl, stir together the Dijon dressing base, 2 teaspoons [4 tsp] oil, and 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] water. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the white bean–artichoke salad to individual bowls. Top with the fish and drizzle with as much Dijon dressing as you like. Serve any remaining dressing on the side.
