Add the fish skin-side down, place the skillet over medium heat and cook the fish, without moving, until it is almost cooked through and the skin is golden
• brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Flip and cook 30 seconds on the other side.
• Meanwhile, trim the top and bottom of the oranges using a paring knife. Remove the peel and pith with the knife, then slice the oranges crosswise into rounds, discarding any seeds.
• Combine the orange juice, vinegar, shallot, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Let sit at least 10 minutes. Whisk in the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add the quinoa, orange slices, kale and sunflower seeds; season with salt and pepper and gently toss. Divide among plates and serve with the fish.

KALE CITRUS SALAD

Steps:

• Grab bunches of the kale leaves and use a sharp knife to thinly slice them. Keep going until you have a big pile of finely shredded kale.
• To make the dressing, combine the orange juice, olive oil, sugar, garlic and some salt and pepper in a small jar. Shake vigorously until combined, then add the sour cream or yogurt and shake again until it's nice and creamy.
• Toss the kale in half the dressing for a minute or so, then add the citrus pieces and jalapeno slices. Toss again until combined. Add a little more dressing if it needs it. (Extra dressing can be stored in the fridge and used for any salad.)
• At the last minute, break the goat cheese into chunks with a fork and toss it into the salad. Serve!
