Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep and cook the carrots
- Scrub or peel the carrots and trim the ends; cut the carrots on the diagonal into ¼-inch-thick slices.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the carrots, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp-tender, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a medium bowl. Do not clean the pan. Meanwhile, start preparing the fish.
2
Prep and cook the fish
- Coarsely chop the pumpkin seeds. Transfer to a plate and spread in an even layer.
- Pat the fish dry with a paper towel; season lightly with salt and pepper and the sazón seasoning, then gently press the fish into the pumpkin seeds, coating both sides (for skin-on snapper, apply the pumpkin seeds only to the fleshy side).
In the same pan used for the carrots, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the fish, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, turning once, until the fish is cooked through and the pumpkin seeds are golden brown, 1 to 2 minutes per side for sole and 3 to 4 minutes per side for halibut, salmon, or snapper. Transfer to a plate. Meanwhile, start preparing the remaining ingredients.
3
Prep the remaining ingredients; assemble the salad
- Cut the tomatoes in half.
- Juice half the lemon; cut the remaining half into wedges for garnish. [Juice 1 lemon; cut the remaining lemon into wedges.]
- Coarsely chop the cilantro; set aside half for garnish.
To the bowl with the carrots, add the tomatoes, lemon juice, 1 to 2 tablespoons oil, and half the cilantro and toss to coat. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the fish and warm carrot salad to individual plates. Garnish with the remaining cilantro and serve with the lemon wedges.
