Swordfish Schnitzel With Radicchio Salad Food

SMOKED SWORDFISH SALAD MAZATLAN

Steps:

• Prepare a smoker for hot smoking by soaking and then igniting 3 large hardwood chunks, and regulating the temperature so that it will remain between 170 degrees and 250 degrees. Smoke the fish for 1 to 1 1/4 hours, or until the flesh is flaky and cooked through. Shred the flesh and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• In a blender, combine the vinegar, garlic, salt, pepper, sugar, avocado, and olive oil and blend for 1 minute, until completely smooth and emulsified. Transfer to a glass bowl, stir in the green onions, and taste for seasoning. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
• When ready to serve, drain the onion slices, pat them dry, and separate them into rings. In a large mixing bowl, toss the spinach, lettuce, and tomatoes, together gently. Pour on enough dressing to coat, and toss again just to mix. Place a mound of the salad on each of 6 plates and scatter about 2 ounces of the shredded swordfish over the salad. Drape a few onion rings over the top and serve.

CHOPPED ROMAINE AND RADICCHIO SALAD

Steps:

• To a jar with a tight-fitting lid, add the Parmesan, olive oil, mustard, vinegar and salt. Screw on the top and shake vigorously to emulsify. Set aside to let the flavors marry.
• In a large bowl, toss together the romaine, radicchio, basil, cucumber, avocado and pita chips. Pour the dressing over the salad, sprinkle with the salt and toss gently to coat and combine.
