1 tablespoon 15mlFinely-minced garlic
1   Bluefish fillet - (abt 1 1/2 lbs) - halved
2 tablespoons 30mlFresh lemon juice
1/4 cup 59mlDefatted chicken or fish broth
1/4 cup 59mlWater
1/2 cup 55g / 1.9ozDiced (1/4") celery

1 tablespoon 15mlDrained tiny capers
1/3 cup 78mlMayonnaise
  Multigrain toast slices - for serving
  Ripe tomato slices - for serving
  Red onion slices - for serving

Recipe Instructions

Heat a large, nonstick skillet over medium heat for about 4 minutes. Add the oil and heat for 1 minute. Add the garlic to the pan and cook for 1 minute, stirring once or twice. Add the bluefish, skin-side down, and sear for about 1 minute. Turn the fish and cook 1 minute on the other side. Add the lemon juice, broth and water, then cook for 1 minute more, stirring. Cover and cook over low heat until the fish is opaque and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Remove the fish to a colander and cool.

Carefully remove the skin from the fish and scrape off the excess dark layer of fat. Flake the fish into a bowl. Very carefully pick through the bowl, checking for bones.

With a fork, toss in the diced celery, diced onion and the capers. Add the mayonnaise; combine well. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to use. Serve in a bowl with slices of multigrain toast, tomato and red onion alongside.
