Preparing the beans: Blanch the beans in plenty of boiling salted water for about 5 minutes, then plunge into cold water and drain in a colander. Using a sharp knife, cut diagonally into thin slices/strips and set aside. Preparing the pears: Wash and halve the pear. Peel the required half, halve again, and remove the core, stem, and blossom end. Then cut into thin strips. Melt the butter in a pan over medium heat and toss the pear slices in the butter for one to two minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside. Preparing the vinaigrette: Combine the vinegar, honey, rapeseed oil, egg yolk, and savory in a bowl and whisk or blend thoroughly until you have a smooth vinaigrette. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper. Preparing the bacon: Fry the breakfast bacon in a grill pan over high heat without any additional fat until crispy, turning frequently. Drain on kitchen paper and set aside. Making the salmon tartare: Using a REALLY SHARP knife, finely dice the salmon, about 3mm across. It should still be slightly chunky. Peel the shallot and finely dice it. Place both in a bowl and mix with lemon juice, lemon zest, soy sauce, and Tabasco. Season to taste with salt and freshly ground pepper. Drain any liquid that runs through a sieve. Arrange and serve: Layer the beans, pears, and spring onion rolls on a presentable plate. Divide the tartare into four pieces and halve each quarter again, shape into a ball with wet hands, and serve. Now add the bacon slice and pour the vinaigrette over the pears, beans, and bacon. Finally, grind a little freshly ground black pepper over the entire plate. Done. A dry white wine or a bitter North German pilsner goes wonderfully with this. As a side dish, we serve crusty black bread with butter (pumpernickel is also fine). For a more Mediterranean touch, try fresh, warm ciabatta or flatbread.
