Crispy Sablefish with Mizuna and Quinoa Salad
- 1 cup quinoa, rinsed and drained
- 2 cups fish or vegetable stock
- 4 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil, divided use
- 1 red or yellow bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 small leek, finely diced
- 1/4 small red onion, finely diced
- 2 tablespoons minced chives
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh mint
- 1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, divided
- 3 cups orange juice
- 8 ounces mizuna or baby greens
- 1 1/2 pound sablefish, cut into 8 pieces
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper, divided
Place orange juice in a small saucepan and bring to a boil over medium heat.
Reduce to a simmer and cook until the juice has reduced by half, about 15 minutes.
Set aside to cool, then mix with 3 tablespoons of the olive oil to make a dressing and set aside.
In a large saucepan, bring stock and 1 tablespoon oil to simmer.
Add quinoa, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
Transfer the cooked quinoa to a large bowl to cool.
Add bell peppers, leeks, red onion, chives and mint and salt and stir to combine.
Season sablefish pieces with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper.
Heat remaining 1 teaspoon oil in a large skillet over high heat.
Gently place fillet pieces, skin side down in pan.
Cook until the skin is crispy and golden brown, about 3 minutes.
Turn and cook until the fish is opaque and slightly firm, about 3 minutes.
Toss the mizuna with enough dressing to coat the leaves.
Evenly divide among four serving plates, then top with quinoa and fish. Drizzle with remaining dressing and serve immediately.
