Hapuku with a Summer Salad

Hapuku with a Summer Salad

Simply follow the steps below:

  1. In a small bowl combine the smoked paprika, celery seeds and chilli (if using). Pat the fish fillets dry, season with salt and pepper.  Press the top into the paprika, celery mix to get a good coating and set aside.
  2. In a medium bowl prepare the salad ingredients, salad greens, radishes, celery, avocado, orange segments, mint and dill. Refrigerate until ready to use.
  3. Whisk together the reserved orange juice, vinegar and oil. And set aside.  Pour this over the salad and toss gently just before serving.
  4. In a large frying pan on medium to high heat add the 1Tbsp of oil and butter. Once the butter starts to bubble add your fish fillets top side down.  Cook for approx 3 minutes until crispy, turn over to cook the bottom and sides for another 3-4 minutes total.  The Cooking time will vary depending on the thickness of your fillets. The fish is cooked when it is opaque and cooked through.
  5. Pour the orange dressing over the salad now and toss gently.
  6. Gently place your summer salad on the plate and place your fish fillet to the side. Drizzle the fish with any left over juice in the pan.  ENJOY!
