Instructions

Wash produce before use

1

Make the cilantro-lime sauce

  • Finely chop, press, or grate enough garlic to measure ½ teaspoon [1 tsp].
  • Finely chop half the cilantro; coarsely chop the remaining half for the salad.
  • Zest and juice the lime, keeping the zest and juice separate.
In a small bowl, stir together the garlic, finely chopped cilantro, lime zest, 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] lime juice, and 1 teaspoon [2 tsp] oil. Season with salt, if desired, and pepper. Let stand while you prepare the rest of the meal.

2

Prep and cook the seafood

For the fish (salmon or trout):
  • Pat the fish dry with a paper towel; season with salt, if desired, and pepper.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the fish, skin side down, and cook until lightly browned and the skin is crisp, 4 to 5 minutes for salmon, 2 to 4 minutes for trout. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 2 to 4 minutes for salmon, 1 to 2 minutes for trout. Transfer to a plate. Add more oil between batches if needed.
While the fish cooks, prepare the salad.

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 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, 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. Add more oil between batches if needed.
While the scallops cook, prepare the salad.

Make the salad

  • Trim the ends from the celery; thinly slice the celery on the diagonal.
  • Cut the pears lengthwise into quarters and cut away the core; thinly slice the fruit.
  • Trim the root ends from the scallions; thinly slice the scallions on the diagonal.
In a large bowl, stir together the celery, pears, scallions, cashews, coconut vinegar, remaining cilantro, and 2 teaspoons [4 tsp] oil. Season with salt, if desired, and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the fish and salad to individual plates. Top the fish with the cilantro-lime sauce and serve.
