• Preheat a grill to medium high. Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Combine the paprika, brown sugar, cumin and garlic powder in a small bowl.

• Combine 1/4 cup toasted almonds, the roasted red peppers, vinegar and 1 tablespoon water in a blender. Puree until mostly smooth. With the machine running, slowly add 1/4 cup olive oil and puree until smooth; season with salt and pepper.
• Oil the grill grates. Toss the beans with the remaining 2 teaspoons olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Put in a grill basket and grill, tossing occasionally, until charred and tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Rub the salmon with olive oil and grill until well-marked, 3 to 4 minutes per side for medium doneness.
• Toss the beans with the basil and divide among plates. Sprinkle with the remaining almonds. Add the salmon to the plates and top with the sauce.

HARD BOILED EGGS

Steps:

• Add eggs straight from fridge, in a single layer, to a saucepan. Add enough cold water to cover them by 1 inch at least. Slowly bring water to just under a boil. Once water is at just under a boil, begin to time them. Count 8 minutes for a hard boiled eggs where yolks are firm but center is still tender or 10 minutes for a fully firm inside yolk. For larger eggs, add a minute, for smaller eggs subtract a minute.
• When done, remove with a slotted spoon and plunge in cold water to stop cooking process. Cool them so they are easy to handle; it is best to peel eggs just before using them. Whole boiled eggs can be kept in fridge for a week.
