Chef's Tip
If you have a mandoline, carefully use it to slice the cucumber in Step 2. The thinner you slice the cuke, the quicker it will soften and absorb the flavor of the dressing.

Instructions

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

Wash produce before use

1

Prep and cook the potatoes

  • Scrub or peel the potatoes. Cut the potatoes in half; cut any large halves in half.
In a large sauce pot, add the potatoes and enough generously salted water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and cook until tender, 12 to 14 minutes. Drain and set aside. Meanwhile, prepare the cucumber salad.

2

Make the cucumber salad

  • Peel the cucumber, if desired; very thinly slice the cucumber crosswise.
  • Set aside half the champagne vinegar for the potato salad.
In a medium bowl, stir together the cucumber, dill, 2 tablespoons [¼ cup] water, half the champagne vinegar, and up to 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] sugar (from your pantry), if using. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Let stand, stirring occasionally, while you prepare the rest of the meal.

3

Assemble the potato salad

  • Trim the root ends from the scallions; thinly slice the scallions.
In a large bowl, stir together the creamy mustard vinaigrette, scallions, capers, remaining champagne vinegar, and up to ¼ teaspoon [½ tsp] sugar (from your pantry), if using. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the potatoes and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

4

Prep and cook the fish

  • Pat the fish dry with a paper towel; 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.

For sole: Add the fish and cook until lightly browned on the bottom side, 1 to 2 minutes. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 1 to 2 minutes.

For 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.

For snapper: Add the fish, skin side down, and cook until the skin is crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 2 to 4 minutes.

For salmon: 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.
