Skillet-Seared Fish Fillets with Citrus Relish

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

  1. 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.
  2. Rinse and pat fish dry. Season with paprika, salt and pepper. Sprinkle with flour on both sides.
  3. 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.
  4. Serve with citrus relish.
