Preparation
To make the citronette, combine the shallots, chives, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a work bowl. Season with salt and pepper and then whisk in the olive oil. Fold in the tarragon and adjust seasoning to your liking. Reserve.
Heat oven to 400°F.
Quarter the potatoes, then toss with olive oil, herbs, and garlic. Season with salt and pepper, then place on a lined baking sheet and roast for 12–15 minutes, until golden brown and tender.
Shell the fava beans by cracking the husk and then pressing the bean out between your thumb and forefinger. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Blanch fava beans for 15–20 seconds, then shock in ice water. Peel each bean by tearing a small hole in the skin with a paring knife, then squeezing out the bean.
Split kanpachi fillets in half lengthwise at the seam, then portion the top loin and belly into 2 pieces each. Heat grill to medium-high heat. Brush the flesh side with vegetable oil, season with salt and pepper, and grill skin-side up for 2–3 minutes, turning 90 degrees halfway through to make grill marks. Flip kanpachi and grill 1 more minute, until just cooked through.
Trim away the root end of the spring onions and split in half lengthwise. Brush lightly with oil and grill each side for about 30 seconds.
Toss the fava beans, roasted potatoes, and grilled spring onions with the citronette. Transfer to a serving dish and top with kanpachi and arugula.
