1

Make the zucchini-tomato salad

  • Thinly slice the zucchini crosswise.
  • Thinly slice the cucumber crosswise.
  • Cut the tomatoes into halves or quarters.
  • Coarsely chop the dill.
  • Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves.
In a large bowl, stir together the lemon vinaigrette base and 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] oil; season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the zucchini, cucumber, tomatoes, dill, and parsley and stir to combine; season to taste with salt and pepper. Let stand, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the seafood.

Prep and cook the seafood

For the fish (salmon or snapper):
  • Pat the fish dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan over medium-low heat, warm 1 tablespoon oil until hot but not smoking. Add the fish, skin side down, cover, and cook until the flesh is almost opaque, 8 to 10 minutes. Turn and cook uncovered until the flesh is opaque and flaky, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate and brush each fillet with 1 tablespoon “creamy” mustard vinaigrette (set aside the remaining vinaigrette for serving).

For the scallops:
  • Pat the scallops dry with a paper towel; season lightly with salt.
In a large frying pan over high heat, warm 1 to 2 teaspoons 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. Transfer to a plate and brush the scallops with 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] “creamy” mustard vinaigrette (set aside the remaining vinaigrette for serving).

Serve

Transfer the seafood to individual plates. Spoon the zucchini-tomato salad on top and serve the remaining mustard vinaigrette on the side
