Salad with fish seems to be under represented. The one I had today was on a bed of two types of chopped lettuce and came with green bell pepper, cucumber, grapefruit sections, and a creamy lemon vinaigrette dressing. The bell pepper and cucumber were thoughtfully diced: the stronger flavored pepper was diced fairly fine and the milder cucumber was cut quite a bit larger. The sole was perfectly pan fried with a light crispy crust on the outside, and the fish itself was moist, almost creamy; it was definitely the star of the salad, but for me the grapefruit supremes came in a close second. There was crunch from the bell pepper and cucumber and sweetness and just a faint bitterness from the grapefruit. Nothing was too salty in this fresh salad: the dressing was mild and the fish was seasoned judiciously so that it could shine and not be overwhelmed. Because of the amount of sole, this salad was my main dish, and I didn't even miss the starch!
