Instructions

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

Wash produce before use

1

Prep and start roasting the vegetables

Heat the oven to 425°F.

  • Scrub or peel the carrots and trim the ends; cut the carrots on the diagonal into ½-inch-thick slices.
  • Trim the root end from the rutabaga; peel and cut the rutabaga into ½-inch pieces.

On a sheet pan [on 1 sheet pan], toss the carrots and rutabaga with 1 to 2 tablespoons oil; season generously with salt and pepper and spread in an even layer. Roast, stirring halfway through, until the vegetables start to soften and brown, 8 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the fish.

2

Prep the fish; finish roasting the ingredients

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

Remove the sheet pan from the oven, stir the vegetables, and spread in an even layer on one end of the sheet pan [on the entire sheet pan]. On the other end of the sheet pan [on a 2nd sheet pan], place the fish and spread the creamy orange glaze over the fish. 

Return to the oven and roast until the carrots and rutabaga are tender and caramelized and the fish is opaque and flaky, 8 to 10 minutes. Meanwhile, prepare the remaining ingredients.

3

Make the watercress salad; finish the cashew-beet smear

  • Trim the root ends and any coarse stems from the watercress.

In a medium bowl, toss the watercress with 1 to 2 teaspoons oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. 

In a small bowl, stir together the cashew-beet spread, 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] water, and as much Urfa chile as you like. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the watercress salad to individual plates and top with the fish. Smear half the cashew-beet spread on each plate, place the carrots and rutabaga on top, and serve.
