Fish with potato and apple salad

Fish with potato and apple salad is a delightful and nutritious meal that combines the savory flavors of white fish with the freshness of a potato and apple salad. This dish is perfect for a light lunch or a satisfying dinner, providing a great balance of protein, healthy fats, and complex carbohydrates.

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Potatoes:
- Peel (if desired) and cut the potatoes into bite-sized chunks.
- Place the potato chunks in a pot of salted water and bring to a boil. Cook for about 10-15 minutes or until just tender when pierced with a fork. Drain and set aside.
2. Cook the Fish:
- While the potatoes are cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Season the white fish fillets with salt and pepper to taste.
- Cook the fish in the hot skillet, about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove the fish from the skillet and set aside. Keep warm.
3. Make the Dressing:
- In a small bowl, combine the mustard and vinegar. Mix well to create a vinaigrette.
4. Assemble the Salad:
- In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked potatoes, sliced apple, chopped macadamia nuts, chopped watercress, and fresh parsley.
- Drizzle the mustard vinaigrette over the potato and apple mixture. Toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
5. Serve:
- To serve, divide the potato and apple salad among individual plates.
- Place a portion of the cooked fish on top of each salad.
- Garnish with additional fresh parsley or watercress if desired.
6. Enjoy:
- Serve immediately while the fish is still warm.

Tips:

- Choose a firm white fish such as cod, haddock, or halibut for the best texture.

- Boil the potatoes until they are just tender to ensure they don't become mushy when mixed with the salad ingredients.

- Toast the macadamia nuts lightly to enhance their flavor and add a nice crunch to the salad.

- Granny Smith apples work well in this recipe due to their tart flavor, which complements the savory elements of the dish.

- Use fresh parsley and watercress to add a burst of freshness and vibrant color to the salad.
