Ingredients
-
1/2 cup diced tomato
-
1/2 cup orange sections, diced
-
1/2 cup cucumber, peeled, seeded, and diced
-
1/4 cup red onion, diced
-
1 teaspoon lemon zest
-
1/4 cup lemon slices, diced
-
1 jalapeno, finely diced
-
1 tablespoon honey
-
1/4 cup cilantro, chopped
-
1/4 teaspoon salt
-
30 ounces striped bass, portioned into 6 5-ounce servings
-
1/2 teaspoon paprika
-
salt and pepper, as desired
-
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
-
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
-
2 teaspoons unsalted butter
Preparation
-
In a medium bowl combine first 10 ingredients to make the relish. Refrigerate until ready to use. This can be made a day ahead but it is best fresh.
-
Rinse and pat fish dry. Season with paprika, salt and pepper. Sprinkle with flour on both sides.
-
Warm a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat, add olive oil and butter. Cook skin side up until lightly browned, about 4 - 5 minutes. Cooking time will vary according to the thickness of the fish. Flip over and cook an additional 2 - 3 minutes or until fish is no longer translucent.
-
Serve with citrus relish.
