Florida Snap Bean Salad |
1 lb. snap beans, stem end snapped |
2 Tbsp. red wine vinegar |
3 Tbsp. olive oil |

Directions:
1. Preheat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Season mackerel steaks lightly with salt and pepper. Evenly spread yogurt over mackerel steaks to cover. Coat steaks with the cornmeal and shake off any extra coating. Add 1 Tbsp. of the oil to the preheated pan. Carefully add coated steaks to pan. Cook steaks evenly on both sides until golden brown and cooked throughout. Remove from pan and let them drain on a paper towel.
2. Cook beans in large pot of boiling salted water until crisp-tender, about 4 min. Drain; rinse with cold water to cool quickly. Drain again. In a medium sized bowl add oil and vinegar. Whisk together oil and vinegar to make vinaigrette. Taste vinaigrette and season with salt and pepper. Add snap beans, red onion and red pepper. Stir to combine. Taste and re-season with salt and pepper. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
3. Combine all Dipping Sauce ingredients in a small mixing bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve chilled.
