Steps

  1. Cook potatoes and beans Bring a pot of salted tap water to the boil with the lid on. Cut potatoes in half or quarters until evenly sized. Cook in a pot of salted water, with the lid on, for about 17 minutes, until tender. Add beans to pot for the final 1 minute of cook time. Drain well.
  2. Cook eggs and prep dressing Place eggs in a pot and cover with water. Bring to the boil, reduce to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes for soft-boiled or 4-6 minutes for hard-boiled. Drain and cool under cold tap. Chop parsley (reserve a little parsley to serve) and add to a bowl with lemon zest and juice and mayonnaise. Whisk to combine.
  3. Prep salad and fish Cut tomatoes in half; thinly slice shallot; chop lettuce; chop olives. Pat fish dry and remove any remaining scales and bones. Cut any larger pieces in half. Toss in a bowl with flour and ½ tsp salt and season with pepper.
  4. Cook fish When potatoes have 7 minutes cook time remaining, heat a small drizzle of oil in a fry-pan on medium-high heat. Cook fish, in batches, for 1-2 minutes each side, until just cooked through.
  5. To finish Add potatoes and beans to a bowl with all remaining Niçoise salad ingredients and dressing. Toss to combine and season to taste. Peel eggs and cut into quarters. Cut lemon into wedges.
