Instructions
Wash produce before use
1
Prep and cook the fish
- Using the bottom of a bowl or cup, lightly crush the coriander seeds.
- Pat the fish dry with a paper towel. Season lightly with salt and pepper and sprinkle with the crushed coriander and beet powder.
In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking.
For salmon:
Add the fish and cook until lightly browned on the bottom side, 4 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 2 to 4 minutes.
For snapper:
Add the fish, skin side down, and cook until the skin is crisp, 3 to 5 minutes. Turn and cook until the flesh is opaque and flaky, 2 to 4 minutes.
Transfer to a plate to cool slightly. If using snapper, pull off the skin; if desired, cut the skin into pieces and set aside for the salad. Using a fork, flake the flesh of the fish into bite-size pieces. While the fish is cooking and cooling, prepare the salad.
