Combine all ingredients in blender, including garlic but excluding mint. Blend on high for 6 minutes. Texture should be smooth and creamy, not gritty. Transfer into storage container, then stir in mint.
Citrus Fennel Slaw: Slice fennel as thinly as possible and place in a large metal mixing bowl. Add remaining ingredients and mix to coat well. Allow 1 hour to marinate before serving.
Salmon Romesco: Preheat oven to 450F. Season salmon filet with Seafood Magic. Add canola oil to preheated oven-safe pan and place seasoned salmon top side down. Cook on the stove top for 2 minutes until golden brown, flip, and continue cooking for and additional 2 minutes. Transfer pan to preheated oven for 4 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 135F. Place rice in the center of the plate and green beans on top of the rice. Next, place the cooked salmon on the top of the stack and top with citrus fennel slaw. Finish with Romesco sauce ladled around the edge of the plate.
