Codfish Aioli: Provence On A Plate

• 2 pounds codfish
• sea salt to taste
• 6 large eggs, hard-boiled (boil for 10 minutes, cool under cold running water, and peel)
• 8 small waxy potatoes, boiled in salted water until fork-tender
• 1 1/2 pounds baby carrots, trimmed, peeled, and boiled to crisp-tender in salted water
• 8 small artichokes, trimmed, top 1/3 cut off, boiled 15 minutes in salted water; cut into quarters, inner leaves and hairy chokes removed
• 1 pound French green beans, trimmed, boiled in salted water to crisp-tender and then placed in a cold water bath to stop cooking and retain color
• 4-6 cloves fresh garlic, peeled, germ removed
• 1 egg yolk
• 1/2 lemon, juiced, more to taste
• 1 - 1 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil, a mild, fruity variety is preferable

1. PREP THE COD AND BOIL THE EGGS AND VEGETABLES: The night before you plan to cook, sprinkle cod all over with sea salt. Wrap in plastic or foil and refrigerate. Prep the vegetables, cool, and cover to refrigerate.
2. MAKE AIOLI: Using a mortar and pestle, pound the garlic with a little sea salt to make a paste. Add the egg yolk continuing to pound, but also moving in circular motions. When the mixture is thickened, whisk in the olive oil in a very slow steady stream. Do the same with the lemon juice whisking until combined.
3. COOK COD: Rinse cod under running water to remove salt. Place in a large skillet with enough simmering water just to cover the fish. Simmer until flakey, about 15 minutes. Remove fish and pat dry. Place on a platter.
4. SERVE: Surround poached cod with cooked vegetables and hard-boiled eggs. Serve aioli separately in the mortar. Serve while cod is still warm.
