Pan-Seared Silver Dory with Fiery Blackberry & Shito Salsa on a Bed of Black Rice.

Prep Time: 20 minutes

Cook Time: 1 hour
Serves: 2-4

Ingredients

• 4 Silver Dory Fillets (skin on)
• 1 cup Black Rice
• Sea Salt
• Olive Oil
• 1 Tomato
• ½ Spanish Onion
• 1 Green Pear
• 1 Orange
• 1 Lemon (juice)
• ½ Bunch Coriander
• 1 cup Blackberries
• 2 tsp MILD Shito Pepper Sauce

Method

Rice:

1. Rinse rice to remove starch, then add to a lidded saucepan with 1 ¾ cups water per cup of rice. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20-30 mins until water is absorbed.
2. Let sit, covered, to steam. Fluff before serving.

Salsa:

1. Wash blackberries and set aside.
2. Quarter and deseed the tomato, then dice it with the onion and pear. Add to a bowl.
3. Chop coriander, add to the bowl.
4. Peel and segment the orange, add to the salsa, and squeeze in the juice.
5. Add lemon juice and Shito sauce, toss gently.
6. Add blackberries last to avoid bruising. Season with salt.

Dory:

1. Salt the fish skin. Heat olive oil in a pan and cook fillets skin-side down for a few minutes, until edges lift. Flip and cook the flesh side briefly.
2. Remove from heat and place on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Plating:

1. Serve black rice on plates, top with two fillets each, and spoon salsa over the fish.

Enjoy!

Tips:

• For a snack, top toasted sourdough or Turkish bread with salsa and balsamic glaze.
• For a sweeter salsa, swap blackberries and orange for mango and strawberries.
