Can be prepared in 45 minutes or less. Ingredients:
1/3 cup watercress leaves, washed well and spun dry |
1/2 cup arugula leaves, washed well and spun dry |
2 tablespoons mayonnaise |
1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste |
two 6-ounce cod steaks (each about 1 inch thick) |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
2 plum tomatoes, seeded and chopped |
1 teaspoon balsamic vinegar |
Directions:
1. In a small food processor blend watercress, arugula, mayonnaise, and lemon juice until leaves are chopped fine and sauce is smooth, adding 1 to 2 teaspoons water if necessary to thin sauce to consistency of thin mayonnaise. Transfer sauce to a small bowl.
2. Season cod with salt and pepper. In a heavy non-stick skillet heat oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and sauté fish 3 minutes, or until crisp and golden. Turn fish over and sauté 2 minutes more. Move fish to one side of skillet and to other side add tomatoes, vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Sauté tomatoes and fish 1 minute, or until tomatoes are just wilted and fish is just cooked through and barely flakes with a fork.
