Cook the fish

  • Pat the fish dry with a paper towel; season generously with salt and pepper.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons olive oil until hot but not smoking.

For skin-on salmon: Add the fish, skin side down, and cook until the skin is crisp, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 1 to 2 minutes.

For skinless 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.

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.

Transfer to individual plates. Wipe out the pan.

Cook the vegetables

In the same pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon olive oil until hot but not smoking. Add the fennel and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to soften, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the squash and tomatoes, season with salt and pepper, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are lightly browned and tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Transfer to the plates with the fish.

Serve

Drizzle the fish with the chimichurri and serve.
