Blanching the radishes briefly softens their characteristic sharpness, enabling them to blend seamlessly with the greens and a creamy miso-lemon dressing. If Aleppo pepper proves difficult to find, hot paprika is a good second choice.

Ingredients
- 1 bunch Tuscan (lacinato) kale washed and dried
- 3 ounces young pea greens (aka pea shoots), or daikon or bean sprouts
- 3 baby cucumbers cut into ¼-inch slices
- 1/2 bunch small rainbow radishes (or red radishes)
- 3 1/2 tablespoons flaxseed oil
- 2 tablespoons mellow white miso
- 2 1/4 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon grated lemon zest
- 1/2 teaspoon Aleppo pepper or hot paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 4 4-ounce fillets cod or other white fish
Instructions
- Remove and discard tough stems from kale. Cut leaves crosswise into ¼-inch strips. Place in a large bowl with pea greens or sprouts, plus cucumbers.
- Blanch radishes in a pot of boiling water for about 20 seconds; drain and refresh under cold water. Dry; quarter lengthwise. Add to bowl.
- Whisk together oil, miso, lemon juice and zest, Aleppo pepper or paprika, and black pepper until emulsified. Add to salad and toss thoroughly.
- Steam fish fillets over boiling water for about 4 minutes, or until opaque. Divide greens among four plates, forming high mounds. Place a steamed fish fillet alongside each. Drizzle any remaining dressing over fillets, and serve at once.
