Instructions

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

Wash produce before use

1

Make the jicama-kale salad

  • Using a sharp knife or a peeler, remove the peel from the jicama; cut the jicama into enough bite-size pieces to measure 1 cup [2 cups]. Save the rest for another use or for snacking.
  • Using your hands or a sharp knife, peel the orange; coarsely chop the fruit. Discard any seeds.

In a medium bowl, stir together the honey-lime vinaigrette base and 1 to 2 tablespoons oil; season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the jicama, orange, and kale and toss to coat. Let stand, tossing occasionally, while you prepare the fish.

2

Prep and cook the fish

  • Pat the fish dry on a paper-towel-lined plate; season lightly with salt, pepper, and the blackening spice blend. 

 

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. 

 

Pollock: 

Arrange the fish in an even layer and cook, undisturbed, until very lightly browned on one side, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn and cook until opaque and flaky, about 1 minute. 

 

Halibut: 

Add the fish and cook until lightly browned on the bottom side, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 2 to 4 minutes. 

 

Snapper:

Add the fish, skin side down, and cook until the skin is crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 2 to 4 minutes.

Serve

Transfer the jicama-kale salad to individual bowls and top with the fish. Garnish with the pumpkin seeds and serve.
