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 2 teaspoons [4 tsp] oil until hot but not smoking. Add the carrots and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender and starting to brown, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and season to taste with salt and pepper. While the carrots are cooking, prepare the ginger-scallion sauce.
2
Make the ginger-scallion sauce
- Trim the root ends from the scallions; thinly slice the scallions.
- Grate or peel and finely chop enough ginger to measure 1 teaspoon [2 tsp].
In a small heatproof bowl, stir together the coconut seasoning blend, scallions, and ginger and season with salt.
In another large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil until hot but not smoking. Carefully pour the oil over the scallion mixture and stir to combine. Do not clean the pan.
3
Prep the fish
- Crack the egg into a shallow bowl. Lightly beat with a fork until just blended.
- On a plate or shallow bowl, spread the sesame seed blend in an even layer.
- Pat the fish dry with a paper towel; season with salt and pepper.
Working with 1 fillet at a time, dip the fish into the egg; let the excess drip off, then gently press the fish into the sesame seeds, coating both sides.
4
Cook the fish
In the same pan used to heat the oil for the ginger-scallion sauce, if dry, add 1 to 2 tablespoons oil. Warm over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add the fish and cook, turning once, until the sesame seeds are toasted and the fish is opaque and flaky, 4 to 5 minutes per side for snapper; 5 to 6 minutes per side for salmon. Transfer to a plate. While the fish is cooking, prepare the salad.
5
Finish the warm carrot salad
- Core and cut the pear into ¼-inch-thick slices.
To the bowl with the carrots, add the pear and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve
Transfer the fish and warm carrot salad to individual plates. Drizzle the fish with the ginger-scallion sauce and serve.
