Instructions

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

Wash produce before use

1

Make the chile-lime sauce

  • Finely chop, press, or grate enough garlic to measure ½ teaspoon [1 tsp].
  • Coarsely chop the cilantro.
  • If using the jalapeño, remove the stem, ribs, and seeds; thinly slice the jalapeño. Wash your hands after handling.

In a small bowl, stir together the chile-lime sauce base, garlic, cilantro, and as much jalapeño as you like. Season to taste with salt.

2

Make the slaw

  • Using your hands or a sharp knife, peel the orange. Cut the fruit lengthwise into quarters, then crosswise into ¼-inch-thick slices. Discard any seeds. 
  • Using the bottom of a bowl or cup, lightly crush the cashews.
  • Strip the mint leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.

In a medium bowl, stir together the slaw dressing base and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] oil. Add the orange, cashews, mint, and cabbage and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

3

Prep and cook the seafood

For salmon and halibut: 

  • Pat the fish dry with a paper towel (if using king salmon, cut in half crosswise); season lightly with salt and pepper. 

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the fish (skin side down for the salmon) and cook until lightly browned (and the salmon skin is crisp), 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 2 to 4 minutes. 

 

For scallops: 

  • Rinse and drain the scallops. Pat dry on a paper-towel-lined plate. Season lightly with salt.

In a large frying pan over high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the scallops and cook without turning until golden brown on one side and starting to turn opaque, 2 to 4 minutes. Turn and continue cooking for about 30 seconds for translucent or 1 to 2 minutes for opaque.

Serve

Transfer the seafood and slaw to individual plates. Top the seafood with as much chile-lime sauce as you like and serve any remaining sauce on the side.

Kids Can!
  • Press the garlic (if you have a press).
