Recipe information

  • Total Time

    15 minutes

  • Yield

    Serves 4

Ingredients

3 tablespoons olive oil, divided, plus more
2 bunches scallions
Kosher salt
4 (6-ounce) skin-on red snapper or any mild white fish fillets
3/4 cup cold-pressed, vegetable-only green juice

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Heat 1 Tbsp. oil in a medium skillet over medium-high. Add scallions, season with salt, and cook, turning occasionally, until scallions are charred in spots and slightly softened, about 1 minute. Transfer to a plate. Wipe out skillet.

    Step 2

    Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in same skillet over medium-high. Season fish with salt and cook, skin side down, until very crisp, about 4 minutes. Flip fish, add green juice and scallions, and cook until fish is just cooked through, about 2 minutes more. Taste and season with salt, if needed.

    Step 3

    Divide fish and scallions among bowls; top with green sauce. Drizzle with oil and serve.
