Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 medium organic oranges
1/2 cup walnuts
4 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon extra-virgin olive oil
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3 cups parsley
4 1 1/2-inch thick, skin-on fish fillets (such as striped bass)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Peel long strips of zest off one orange. Slice half very thinly into julienne. Cut peel and pith away from the orange, following contour of orange. Holding orange over a bowl, cut between membranes, allowing segments to fall into bowl. Squeeze juice into bowl; discard membrane. Repeat with remaining oranges.
  • Combine walnuts with 1 teaspoon oil, 4 large zest strips, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper on a baking sheet. Roast until golden brown and fragrant, shaking once or twice, 8 to 10 minutes. Increase oven temperature to 425 degrees. Let walnuts cool, then coarsely chop with a few strips of zest.
  • Combine mustard, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 2 tablespoons orange juice. Whisk in 3 tablespoons oil. In a second bowl, combine parsley, walnuts, and julienned orange zest. Lift oranges out of juice and add to salad. Drizzle with some of the dressing and toss gently.
  • Season fish with salt and pepper. Heat a large oven-proof skillet over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon oil, swirling to coat pan. Place skin-side down in skillet and cook 3 minutes. Transfer to oven and cook until opaque, 8 to 10 minutes depending on thickness of fish. Serve fish with salad, drizzled with dressing.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oranges: For the best flavor, use ripe, juicy oranges with a sweet-tart balance. Blood oranges are a great option, as they add a beautiful color and a slightly more complex flavor to the salad.
  • Use fresh parsley: Fresh parsley is essential for the best flavor and texture in this salad. If you don't have fresh parsley, you can substitute cilantro, but the flavor will be slightly different.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A light dressing is all you need to enhance the flavors of the oranges and parsley. Too much dressing will overwhelm the salad and make it soggy.
  • Serve immediately: This salad is best enjoyed fresh. The oranges and parsley will start to wilt after a few hours, so it's best to make it just before serving.

Conclusion:

This orange and parsley salad is a refreshing and flavorful side dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's light and tangy, with a beautiful pop of color from the oranges. The fresh parsley adds a bright, herbaceous flavor that perfectly complements the sweetness of the oranges. This salad is also very easy to make, and it's a great way to use up any leftover oranges you have on hand. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious side dish, give this orange and parsley salad a try.
