Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a mixing bowl, stir together the orange oil, lime juice and vinegar. Add the chile, shallot, salt and pepper to taste. If the dressing is too sharp, add a teaspoon honey. Add the fluke, toss gently, and let it sit for several minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Place celery leaves in the center of each of 6 plates and alternate 2 orange and 2 grapefruit segments around them.

  3. Step 3

    Mound the fluke on the celery leaves. Spoon the dressing over the fish, sprinkle with capers, parsley, mint, basil and radish slices. Garnish with an orange and grapefruit segment, and sprinkle with coarse sea salt.

Delicious! I added an avocado—used watermelon radishes instead of regular radishes and lovage instead of celery leaves. I garnished with flowers from the garden.

@RyanF, Infusing olive oil is as simple as peeling an orange! My experience has been one whole orange, peeled is sufficient for about a 1L of liquid (scale that to the amount of oil you actually need). Let it sit for 16-24 hours in advance to get all that flavor infused in, then enjoy!

I found it easier to toss the salad ingredients except for citrus in the dressing before plating. I used day boat scallops and hamachi and found the seafood a little difficult to arrange (it gets floppy after being dressed). I added the extra juice from the oranges and grapefruit to the dressing to make it less sharp. Very nice crudo.
