Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 bunch Tuscan kale (also called lacinato kale), stemmed
1 tablespoon EVOO, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Grated nutmeg
4 fillets branzino
Splash white vermouth
1/2 cup sliced almonds, chopped
3 tablespoons butter
1 lemon
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and heat the broiler.
  • Drizzle the kale with a little EVOO and season with salt, pepper and nutmeg. Arrange on a rack set over a rimmed baking sheet and broil until crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • Warm a serving platter in a 250 degree F oven.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon EVOO in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle the fish with salt and pepper, then saute until just cooked through, about 3 minutes on each side. Douse the fish with the vermouth, then transfer to the platter and cover to keep warm.
  • Return the skillet to the heat and toast the almonds over medium heat. Add the butter and cook until browned, about 3 minutes. Grate the zest of the lemon and add it to the browned butter, then squeeze in the juice from half the lemon. Stir in the parsley.
  • Arrange the fish on a bed of crispy kale. Slice the remaining lemon half into 4 thin rounds and place one on each piece of fish. Spoon the brown butter sauce and the almonds on top.
