Watercress Salad with Mahimahi


Ingredients:
2 1/2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil, divided
2 (6-ounce) Mahimahi fillets
1/4 teaspoon salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, divided
2 cups watercress
2 cups torn Bibb Lettuce
1/2 cup chopped yellow tomato
1/2 cup chopped red tomato
1/4 cup thinly sliced shallots
1 tablespoon red vinegar
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard

Instructions:
1) Heat 1 teaspoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Sprinkle fish evenly with 1/8 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Add fish to pan; cook 4 minutes or until lightly browned. Carefully turn fish over; cook 3 minutes or until the fish starts flaking off easily when tested with a fork or cook until desired degree of doneness. Remove fish from pan; keep warm.
2) Combine watercress, lettuce, tomatoes, and shallots in a large bowl. Combine vinegars, honey, mustard, remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, and remaining 1/8 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl; gradually add remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons oil, stirring with a whisk. Pour vinaigrette over lettuce mixture; toss gently to coat. Arrange 2 1/2 cups lettuce mixture on each of 2 plates; top each serving with 1 fillet.
