Spa Index Kitchen Notes
This recipe looks rather exotic, but is very adaptable based on what greens are in your region. Even braised greens are a good base for this sturdy, firm fish. Cranwell uses Popcorn Shoots, a bright yellow shoot from sprouting corn, but you can use your favorite greens and shoots. Pea shoots are fantastic, and so is blanched asparagus! Also great with salmon.
Calorie Adaptation: If you prefer not to use white wine in either the brine or the sauce, substitute chicken broth. The new calorie count would be 117 per portion, 3.1 fat, 6.3 carbs, and 16.7 protein.
