Instructions

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

Wash produce before use

1

Prep and cook the fish

  • Pat the fish dry with a paper towel; season the salmon or halibut generously with salt and pepper, the trout lightly.

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon oil until hot but not smoking. Add the fish, skin side down, and cook until lightly browned and the skin is crisp, 3 to 5 minutes for salmon and 4 to 5 minutes for snapper. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 1 to 2 minutes for salmon and 2 to 4 minutes for snapper. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out the pan.

While the fish is cooking, prepare the remaining ingredients.

2

Prep the remaining ingredients; make the apple-cabbage slaw

  • Core and cut the apple into ½-inch cubes.
  • Cut away any core from the cabbage; coarsely chop the cabbage.
  • Strip the tarragon leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves for garnish.

In the same pan used for the fish, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the apple, cabbage, and fennel seeds, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is wilted and the apple is warmed through, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Smear the chimichurri onto individual plates, top with the fish, and spoon the warm apple-cabbage slaw alongside. Garnish with the tarragon and serve.
