Ingredients

1½ tablespoons Cajun seasoning

⅛ teaspoon black pepper

⅛ teaspoon cayenne

2 5-ounce fish filets (such as trout,

snapper, or flounder)

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

4 cups mixed greens

1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil

Salad

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

4 cups mixed greens

1 teaspoon olive oil

Directions

Mix Cajun seasoning, pepper, and cayenne together in a small bowl.

Moisten the sides of each filet with water and coat with about 2 teaspoons of spice mixture.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium high heat. Once oil is hot, add filets and cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until fish is opaque and can be flaked with a fork.

Meanwhile, prick potatoes several times with a fork and microwave for 5–7 minutes, until soft when poked with a fork. Remove and cut in half lengthwise and transfer to serving plates.

Transfer fish from pan to serving plates. Add spoonful of plain yogurt and drizzle of olive oil to potatoes.

Add half of the greens to each plate. Make dressing by whisking together oil and vinegar. Drizzle over greens and serve immediately. (transamericainstitute)
