For the slaw: In a saute pan, when the pan is smoking hot, render the bacon
until crispy. Add the salsify, celery root and fennel. Saute for 1 minute,
just to warm and remove. In a mixing bowl combine all the remaining
ingredients with the sauteed vegetables. Toss to incorporate and season
with salt and pepper.

For the fish: In a saute pan, heat the olive oil. Dredge the fish in the
seasoned flour, lightly coating each side. When the oil is smoking hot,
place the fish carefully in the hot oil. Saute for 2-3 minutes or until
golden brown and crispy. Flip the fish over and continue sauteeing for an
additional 2-3 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove the fish and
place on a paper-lined plate, to remove any excess oil.

To assemble: Spoon the potatoes in the center of the platter. Place the
fish directly on top of the potatoes. Mound the slaw on top of the fish.
Garnish with the fried parsnips around the edge of the plate and sprinkle
with the chives.

Yield: 2 servings
