Ingredients
Scale
4 (6 ounce) snapper fillets, skin on or off
1 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
4 cups chopped kale
2 oranges, peeled and segmented
1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Pat snapper fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat.
Place snapper fillets, skin-side down if applicable, in the hot skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until cooked through and flaky.
While the snapper cooks, prepare the salad. In a large bowl, combine chopped kale, orange segments, and thinly sliced red onion.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons olive oil, white wine vinegar, honey, 1/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper to make the dressing.
Pour the dressing over the kale mixture and toss gently to combine.
Serve the pan-seared snapper immediately with the kale-orange salad on the side.
Notes
You can use any firm white fish, such as cod or halibut, in place of snapper.
Adjust the amount of honey in the dressing to your sweetness preference.
For extra crunch, add toasted almonds or walnuts to the salad.
