Instructions

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

Wash produce before use

1

Cook the couscous

Bring a medium sauce pot of generously salted water to a boil. Add the couscous and cook until just tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Drain the couscous, then return to the pot and toss with 2 to 3 teaspoons oil; season to taste with salt and pepper. Cover and keep warm. 

While the water is heating and the couscous is cooking, start preparing the rest of the meal.

2

Prep the ingredients

  • Cut the butter into ½-inch pieces; refrigerate until ready to make the beurre blanc.
  • Trim the root end from the frisée, coarsely chop the frisée. 
  • Coarsely chop the almonds.

In a medium bowl, stir together the currants and honey-lime vinaigrette.

3

Cook the fish

  • Pat the fish dry with a paper towel; season lightly with salt and pepper. 

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the fish and cook until lightly browned on the bottom side, 1 to 2 minutes for sole, 3 to 5 minutes for salmon, and 4 to 5 minutes for halibut. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 1 to 2 minutes for sole or salmon and 2 to 4 minutes for halibut.

Transfer the fish to a plate and cover to keep warm. Do not clean the pan.

4

Make the citrus beurre blanc

In the same pan used for the fish, stir in the citrus blend and cook over medium heat until thickened slightly, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat, add the butter a few pieces at a time, and swirl until melted. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 

5

Make the frisée-arugula salad

To the bowl with the currants and vinaigrette, add the frisée, arugula, almonds, and 2 to 3 teaspoons oil and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper. 

 

Serve

Transfer the couscous and frisée-arugula salad to individual plates. Top the couscous with the fish, spoon over the citrus beurre blanc, and serve.
