PISTACHIO-CRUSTED WHITE FISH WITH WINTER CITRUS SALSA

Steps:

• Zest the blood oranges into a shallow bowl and set aside. Segment the grapefruit and all of the oranges by cutting away the peel and white pith with a sharp knife, leaving the flesh exposed, then carefully cut between the membranes to release each segment into a medium bowl. Reserve the membranes from the oranges and set the shallow bowl aside.
• Add the jalapeno, the scallion whites, cilantro, endive, and lime juice to the medium bowl. Season with a pinch or two of salt and stir to combine. Refrigerate the citrus salsa until ready to serve.
• Add the mustard to the shallow bowl. Squeeze in the juice from the reserved blood orange membranes and whisk to combine. If the mixture seems too thick, squeeze in more juice from the remaining orange membranes.
• Combine the pistachios with the panko and a couple of pinches of salt in a food processor and process until the pistachios are finely chopped and well combined with the panko. Transfer to another shallow bowl.
• Pat the fish fillets dry then season with salt and pepper. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
• Meanwhile, dip each fillet in the citrus-Dijon mixture then dredge in the pistachio breadcrumbs, pressing to help the crumbs adhere, if necessary. Add the fillets to the skillet and cook until the nuts are golden brown and the fish is opaque and flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• Remove the fillets to serving plates, garnish with the remaining scallion greens and spoon some of the citrus salsa on the side or over the top with a slotted spoon.

MAYA CITRUS SALSA WITH RED SNAPPER

Steps:

• Heat oven to 450 degrees. Cut orange in half horizontally and section it as you would a grapefruit; do this over a bowl to capture all its juice. Remove seeds and combine flesh and juice in bowl. Repeat with grapefruit and lemon. Stir in cilantro, habanero and salt.
• Put oil in a nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium high heat. A minute later, add fish, skin side down; season top with salt. Cook until skin begins to crisp, 3 or 4 minutes, then transfer to oven. Cook another 3 or 4 minutes, or until a thin-bladed knife meets little resistance when inserted into thickest part of fish. Serve fish with xec, immediately.

OVEN-STEAMED FISH WITH MIXED-NUT SALSA

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Pick a baking dish that will fit all the fish fillets in an even layer. Scatter the whole parsley sprigs in the dish. Pat the fish dry and season all over with salt and pepper. Lay the fish on top of the parsley sprigs. (The herbs keep the fillets from sticking to the pan and will lightly flavor the fish.) Pour enough boiling water around the fish to cover the bottom of the dish. Seal the dish tightly with foil and bake until the fish is opaque and flakes with a fork, about 10 minutes for thin fillets like sole and up to 20 minutes for dense fillets that are 1-inch thick or more.
• While the fish is cooking, stir together the chopped parsley, nuts, olive oil, vinegar, honey and ½ teaspoon black pepper. (Measure the pepper; it's more than you think.) Season to taste with salt.
• Transfer the cooked fish to plates, and discard the parsley and water. Spoon some salsa over fillets and pass the rest at the table.

CITRUS SALSA

Steps:

• Roast jalapeno over a gas flame or under a broiler until blackened. Let cool in a paper bag. Peel, seed, and cut jalapeno into quarter-inch pieces.
• Remove peel and pith from all citrus using a sharp paring knife. Place a strainer over medium bowl. Working over a medium bowl to catch the juice, carefully cut between membranes to remove segments. Squeeze remaining membrane to extract juice; reserve. Cut segments into 1/4-inch pieces; transfer to a separate bowl.
• Add onion to citrus. Halve tomatoes lengthwise, squeeze out seeds; cut into 1/4-inch pieces. Gradually add reserved peppers, tasting for heat. Stir in thyme and oil, adding reserved citrus juice if salsa is dry.
