1 tablespoon | 15ml | Finely-minced garlic |
1 | Bluefish fillet - (abt 1 1/2 lbs) - halved | |
2 tablespoons | 30ml | Fresh lemon juice |
1/4 cup | 59ml | Defatted chicken or fish broth |

1 tablespoon | 15ml | Drained tiny capers |
1/3 cup | 78ml | Mayonnaise |

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.
