Kumquat Salsa Recipes

Steps:

• Mix jalapeños with garlic and cilantro. Remove insides from kumquats. Put insides in small pot and add orange juice, lemon juice, and brown sugar.
• While reducing mixture, cut kumquat shells to 1/2-inch size and add to reduction. When reduction is done and tender, mix with the other ingredients and add salt and pepper to taste.

Steps:

• To prepare the dressing, place extra virgin olive oil, red wine vinegar, brown sugar, and pepper in a small container with a lid. Shake well to blend.
• In a medium bowl, toss together baby salad greens, green onions, celery, carrot, broccoli, and cauliflower. Sprinkle avocado with lemon juice, and toss into the mixture. Sprinkle mixture with Asiago cheese and pine nuts. Toss in kumquats. Serve with the olive oil dressing.

Steps:

• Make the kumquat salsa: In a small bowl, stir together the kumquats, red onion, Fresno chile, cilantro, lime juice, and salt.
• Make the fish tacos: Season the halibut with the salt, ancho chile powder, garlic powder, and cumin.
• Heat the grapeseed oil in a medium cast iron skillet over high heat. Add the halibut and cook, flipping once with a fish spatula, until seared and cooked through on both sides, about 3 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fish. Remove the fish from the skillet and flake into large pieces with a fork.
• In a medium bowl, toss the red cabbage with the lime juice and a pinch of salt.
• Assemble the tacos: Add some of the red cabbage to the tortillas, then top with some of the fish, a spoonful of kumquat salsa, a few slices of avocado and radish, and a sprinkle of cilantro.
• Enjoy!
