Pork Chops with Orange Fennel Salad

How To Prepare
Remove the skin and white pith from orange with a sharp knife. Working over a bowl, cut the segments from their surrounding membranes. Squeeze juice in the bowl before discarding membranes. Transfer the segments with a slotted spoon to another bowl. Whisk lemon juice into the bowl with the orange juice. Set aside.
Season pork chops on both sides with fennel seeds and pepper. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the chops and cook until browned and just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
Add sliced fennel and shallot to the pan and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add watercress (or arugula) and cook, stirring, until it begins to wilt, 1 to 2 minutes more. Stir in the reserved orange segments, then transfer the contents of the pan to a platter.
Add the reserved orange juice mixture and any accumulated juices from the pork chops to the pan. Cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 1 minute. Serve the pork chops on the fennel salad, drizzled with the pan sauce.

Instructions
  1. Prepare Marinade: 1. In a bowl add ginger garlic paste, red chilli powder, turmeric powder, and a tablespoon of lemon juice. 2. Mix all the ingredients until they combine well to form a marinade. Clean the fish, marinate, and stuff the cavity: 3. Clean and wash the whole fish thoroughly in cold water. Pat dry with a kitchen paper towel. With a sharp knife, carefully make a couple of diagonal gashes about 1/2-inch deep on each side of the fish. Rub the marinade well on fish making sure to coat the inside of the fish and the incisions as well, especially in the slits. NOTE:You can use any lean white fish your choice. For today’s recipe I’m using Dorade. My other favourites are Tilapia or Snapper fish. For aromatics, I’m using the following. But feel free to use anything of your choice. 4. Place the lemon slices, garlic pods, slit or broken green chillies and generous amounts of coriander inside the body cavity of the fish. 5. Cover and let refrigerate for at least one to two hours….Longer the better. Overnight works best though!! Once the fish is ready after marination, place it in a grill basket if you have one. Otherwise you can grill it directly but handle the fish with care, especially while flipping. Grilling the fish: 6. Preheat the grill. Place the grill basket with the fish (or the fish directly) on the grill and close it. 7. Sprinkle with garam masala for a nice aroma. 8. Grill for 8 to 10 minutes on each side until cooked and beautifully charred. Note: Grilling time may differ depending on the thickness of the fish so to test if it is done, stick the tines of a fork into the fish to determine if it flakes. The flesh should be opaque and flake easily. Grilling fish can be slightly tricky !!….A few tips!! The first rule to remember is, fish cooks very fast over direct heat. You need to retain flavours and juice in the grilled fish, so get it off the grill after a few minutes. Spray the grill with Pam so that it doesn't stick. Always preheat the grill for ten minutes before putting the fish under it so that you get a good sear mark. Do not place the fish right at the centre of the grill (the hottest part). Place it more towards the edge. For good presentation, grill the first side of the fish a little longer than the second. It gives the fish nice sear marks plus, it prevents the fish from sticking to the grill. The amount of grilling time for different fish varies as per the thickness and size of it. Usually white fish needs less cooking time. To check doneness, just poke it slightly with a fork… if it’s done the meat will flake easily and appear thick. Keep some lemon juice and brush this over just before removing from heat so as to keep it moist.
