Servings: persons

1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 onion, finely diced
1 pinch salt
2 pounds black mussels - scrubbed, de-bearded, and drained
For the Marinade:
1 teaspoon lemon zest
2 tablespoons diced jalapeno pepper
1/2 lemon, juiced
2 tablespoons Champagne vinegar
1/4 cup olive oil, or more to taste

1
Heat olive oil in a saucepan over medium-high heat. Add onion and salt. Cook and stir until onion starts to sizzle, 1 to 2 minutes. Add mussels and cook, covered, until mussels start to open, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer mussels to a bowl. Let cool until easy to handle.
2
Separate mussels from shells into a bowl, reserving the shells and juices. Keep mussels refrigerated while preparing the marinade.
3
Pour the reserved accumulated juices back into the saucepan. Cook on medium-high heat until reduced to a glaze, 1 to 2 minutes. Press glaze through a mesh strainer into a bowl to remove any grit.
4
Add lemon zest, jalapeno, lemon juice, and Champagne vinegar. Whisk in oil. Spoon dressing over the mussels. Press plastic wrap down on top and marinate in the refrigerator, 2 to 8 hours.
5
Arrange shells on a paper towel-lined plate. Fill shells with the mussels and spoon the dressing evenly on top.
