baked skate with cucumber, capers, tomato & dill
this refreshing and healthful preparation for skate wing is quick, easy and gorgeous on the plate. some crusty bread is great for mopping up the sauce.
serves 2
- 1 lb. skate wing (filleted)
- 1/2 c finely diced cucumber
- 1/2 c finely diced tomato
- 3 t capers
- 1/4 c extra virgin olive oil
- 2 t balsamic vinegar
- a few sprigs of fresh dill
- salt & pepper to taste
combine all the ingredients (except the skate fillet) in a bowl to mix. lightly oil and place skate fillets on a non-stick baking sheet (or one lined with parchment). spoon some of the cucumber-caper-tomato mixture over each fillet and bake at super high heat (475°) for a few minutes until skate is cooked through. serve with the pan juices and more garnish of fresh dill.
