Prepare the Ingredients
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees and prepare a baking sheet with foil. Thoroughly rinse produce and pat dry. Coarsely chop garlic and parsley. Peel and dice red onion into a small dice. Halve, seed, and stem Poblano pepper. Chop Poblano pepper into a medium dice. Halve lemon and zest (about 1 Tbsp. zest). Stem kale and cut into 1" pieces.
-
Roast the Poblano Pepper
In a mixing bowl, combine the diced Poblano, 2 tsp. olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Place coated pepper pieces on prepared baking sheet and roast in the oven for 8-10 minutes, or until fork-tender and beginning to caramelize. Remove from oven and allow to cool.
-
Prepare the Salsa
In the same mixing bowl you used for the pepper, combine cooled Poblano pieces, capers, red onion, garlic, parsley, 2 tsp. olive oil, and juice of half of the lemon. Mix together to incorporate and season with salt and pepper to taste. Set aside at room temperature until ready to serve.
-
Braise the Kale
Heat 2 tsp. olive oil in a medium-sized pot. When oil is hot, add the garlic and lemon zest and sauté for 1-2 minutes. Add kale and a pinch of salt and sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until kale becomes bright green. Deglaze the pan with 3/4 cup of water and juice of remaining lemon half. Braise for 7-8 minutes, or until the liquid is mostly gone and kale is tender. Add more liquid if kale is still tough. Salt and pepper to taste.
-
Cook the Tilapia
Season the tilapia on both sides with cumin and a pinch of salt and pepper. Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tsp. olive oil to the pan. Cook tilapia on each side for 4-5 minutes or until golden brown. Fish should be flaky but firm.
-
Plate the Dish
Compose a mound of braised kale on the side of the plate. Lay a piece of seared tilapia on side of the kale. Top the fish with the Poblano salsa. Garnish with remaining lemon zest and a crack of fresh black pepper.
