    Line up the baccalà fillets in an oven-proof dish, season them with the chilli-flavoured extra virgin olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper, the thinly sliced onion, and the chopped mint leaves.

  • 2

    Allow the pieces of baccalà to marinate for one hour after covering the dish with cling film.

    Steam the green beans for about 15 minutes, cool them down in some water with ice. Drain and set aside. Season the green beans with a pinch of salt, pepper, and a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil.

 

Food plating

Cut the marinated baccalà into thin slices to make a sort of carpaccio. Arrange them in the centre of the plate, laying the slices on top of the green bean salad.
