Brighten your table with this quick, refreshing small plate that pairs pantry-staple tinned fish with vibrant winter citrus. My plate features canned hake, but feel free to swap it for any tinned white fish, tuna, or mackerel. The citrus pictured are a mandarin and cara cara orange; mix and match a couple types of citrus for a more vibrant color.
