How to Make Whitefish With Lemon Vinaigrette

  1. Prepare the vinaigrette: In a blender, combine lemon juice (from 1 lemon), parsley, minced garlic, lemon zest (from 1 lemon), 1/4 teaspoon salt, and freshly ground black pepper. Blend until smooth.
  2. With the blender running, slowly drizzle in 3 tablespoons of olive oil until emulsified. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
  3. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped shallots and sauté until softened, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the sliced radicchio and sauté until wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir in the cannellini beans and broth. Cook until heated through, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  5. Season the radicchio mixture with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. In a separate 14-inch nonstick skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
  7. Season the whitefish fillets with salt and pepper.
  8. Lightly dredge the fillets in flour, shaking off any excess.
  9. Carefully place the fillets in the hot skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Do this in batches if necessary.
  10. Spoon the radicchio mixture onto plates. Top with the seared whitefish fillets.
  11. Drizzle generously with the lemon vinaigrette and serve immediately. Enjoy!
