Meanwhile, brown the skin side of the salmon in a non-stick frying pan. Add the salmon to the fennel, drizzle with a little more oil and cook for 12 minutes. Meanwhile, cook the potatoes and beans until tender in boiling salted water. Drain and set aside.
Meanwhile, make the mayonnaise. Place yolks in a bowl, add mustard and lemon juice and whisk until well mixed. Slowly add oil, whisking vigorously until emulsified and thickened. Stir in the dill. Put the warm potatoes and beans into a bowl, spoon over mayonnaise and stir well.
