Instructions

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

Wash produce before use

1

Prep the ingredients

  • Pat the seafood dry with a paper towel; season with salt and pepper and rub all over with the harissa powder. Let stand while you prepare the vegetables.
  • Measure half the vegetable broth; save the rest for another use.
  • Rinse the chickpeas.
  • Trim the ends from the zucchini; cut the zucchini in half lengthwise, then crosswise into ¼-inch-thick half-moons.
  • Trim the root end from the frisée and divide the head in half. Coarsely chop the leaves of one half; save the remaining frisée for another use.
  • Juice half the lemon; cut the other half into wedges for garnish. [Juice 1 lemon; cut 1 lemon into wedges.]

2

Cook the chickpeas and zucchini

In a large frying pan, combine half the vegetable broth and ½ cup [1 cup] water and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until thickened slightly, 3 to 4 minutes [6 to 8 min].
Add the chickpeas and zucchini and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the chickpeas are heated through, the zucchini is tender, and a little broth remains, 5 to 7 minutes [6 to 8 min]. Remove from the heat and stir in the frisée, 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] parsley-pecan pesto (set aside the remaining pesto for serving). Transfer to a large bowl and cover to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.

3

Prep and cook the seafood

For the fish (sole or halibut):
In the same pan used for the vegetables, warm 1 tablespoon [2 TBL] oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Working in batches if needed, add the fish, reduce the heat to medium, and cook, turning once, until the fish is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes per side for sole and 3 to 5 minutes per side for halibut. Transfer to a plate. Add more oil between batches if needed.

For the scallops::
In the same pan used for the vegetables, warm 2 to 3 teaspoons oil over medium-high heat 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.

Serve

Transfer the chickpeas and zucchini to individual plates. Top with the seafood and as much of the remaining pesto and as many chile flakes as you like. Serve the lemon wedges and any leftover pesto on the side.
