  • 1 organic lemon
  • 2 tablespoons pine nuts
  • 4 or 5 sprigs organic fresh flat-leaf parsley
  • Fish options:
  • 2 wild sole fillets (about 5 ounces each)
  • 2 sustainably raised rainbow trout fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 2 organic Roma or other tomatoes
  • 1 cup cooked white beans
  • 3 tablespoons pitted Kalamata olives
  • 3 ounces organic shredded kale or other leafy greens
Make It Leaner
Use only half the pine nuts in the stuffing and you’ll cut 35 calories and 3 grams of fat per serving. Sprinkle the remaining pine nuts over a salad the next day.
Ingredient IQ
Because parsley seeds can require up to six weeks to germinate, medieval superstitions held that the seeds needed enough time to travel to hell and back a few times before sprouting. Consequently, some farmers in the Middle Ages were afraid to plant them. Yet today, parsley is quite possibly the most popular herb in Western cooking.

Instructions

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

Wash produce before use

1

Prep the stuffing

  • Zest and juice the lemon, keeping the zest and juice separate. Set aside the juice for the vegetables.
  • Coarsely chop the pine nuts. Alternatively, using the bottom of a bowl or cup, lightly crush the pine nuts.
  • Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.
In a small bowl, stir together the lemon zest, pine nuts, and parsley. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

2

Prep and cook the fish

Prep and cook instructions are almost identical for both fish options.
  • Pat the fish dry with a paper towel; season lightly with salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan over medium heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the fish (skin side down for the trout) and cook without turning until lightly browned and almost cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes for sole, 2 to 3 minutes for trout. Transfer to a plate (discard the trout skin if desired). Add more oil between batches if needed.
Top 1 piece [2 pieces] of fish with the stuffing, spreading in an even layer; using a spatula, top the stuffing with the remaining fish, browned side up. Return the pan to medium heat and continue cooking until the fish is cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer the fish to a cutting board and cut in half crosswise. Wipe out the pan.
While the fish cooks, prepare the vegetables.

3

Prep and cook the vegetables

  • Cut away the cores from the tomatoes; coarsely chop the tomatoes.
  • Rinse the white beans.
  • Coarsely chop the olives.
In the same pan used for the fish, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the kale and tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the kale is wilted and the tomatoes start to break down, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon juice and olives, and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the fish and vegetables to individual plates and serve.
