The key to a satisfying dinner salad? Texture, flavor and food group representation! This recipe features broiled sablefish served atop a fresh salad of crunchy snap peas, peppery radishes and juicy-tart mango. The fruit and vegetables are the perfect contrast to the light char and buttery texture of the sablefish. Bright cilantro and a zesty citrus vinaigrette round out the flavors, while quick-cooking couscous provides a little extra body. Store bought vinaigrette makes this recipe even easier, but feel free to sub in a homemade version.

Ingredients
- 2 (6 oz.) portions sablefish
- ½ cup dry couscous
- 2 teaspoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided
- ¼ teaspoon salt, divided
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- Small head of romaine or butter lettuce, chopped
- 4 oz. snap peas, chopped
- 2 to 3 radishes, thinly sliced
- 1 ripe mango, cut into cubes
- 2 to 3 tablespoons of your favorite citrus/lemon vinaigrette
- Small bunch of cilantro, for garnish
Instructions
1. Add ½ cup water plus 1 teaspoon olive oil to a small pot and bring to a boil. Once boiling (this happens quick!), add in the couscous, stir, turn off the heat and cover with a lid. Let sit for 10 minutes or until the water is fully absorbed. Once the couscous is cooked, fluff with a fork.
2. While couscous rests, prepare the sablefish. Arrange an oven rack 4 to 6 inches from broiler element, then preheat broiler to the highest setting. Pat fillets dry with a paper towel. Coat fillets with the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil, season with salt and pepper and place in a baking dish. Broil until fillet is browned on top and reaches desired doneness, or 130F at its thickest point for medium. This should take about 8 to 10 minutes. Once done, remove from oven and allow to rest.
3. To assemble the salads, divide all veggies and couscous evenly between 2 plates and top each with a warm fillet. Drizzle about 1 tablespoon of dressing onto each and top with fresh cilantro.
