Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

Prep and start cooking the fish

Pat the fish dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.

In a medium [large] frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the fish (skin side down for the skin-on salmon or snapper) and cook until lightly browned (and the salmon or snapper skin is crisp), 4 to 6 minutes. Turn and cook until the fish easily lifts away from the pan but is not yet cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pan. While the fish is cooking, prepare the vegetables.

Prep the vegetables

Peel the onion and cut in half lengthwise, then crosswise into enough thin slices to measure ¾ cup [1½ cups].
Cut the zucchini in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ½-inch-thick half-moons.
Trim the root ends from the scallions; thinly slice the scallions on the diagonal for garnish.

Cook the vegetables and sauce; finish the fish

In the same pan used for the fish, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Stir in the onion, season with salt and pepper, and cook until starting to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in the zucchini and cook until starting to soften, 1 to 2 minutes.

Add the tomatillo simmer sauce and ¼ cup [½ cup] water and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the sauce starts to thicken, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the fish (skin side up for the skin-on salmon or snapper) and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky and the sauce is thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the fish, vegetables, and tomatillo sauce to individual bowls. Garnish with the scallions and serve.
