Salmon, Dill and Sauteed Kale

 

It is my personal opinion that Salmon and Dill were made for each other, like Snooki and spray tan. 

This recipe is so simple, yet so delish. 

Ingredients Serves 2

2 salmon filets

1 clove garlic (mine was large, worked out well)

1 tbsp dill (fresh if you can, but dried works too)

1 head of Kale 

1/2 tbsp walnut oil

1/2 tbsp lemon infused olive oil

grab two skillets, one deeper than the other. The deep one is best for the kale, because it tends to pile up and then cook down. I drizzle about a 1/2 tbsp of oil into each pan. This time, I used walnut oil for the kale and lemon infused olive oil for the salmon. If you have olive oil and a lemon, use that for the salmon. Regular olive oil works for the kale as well. 

begin cooking the salmon in one pan with the lemon olive oil on medium. While the salmon is cooking, break up the head of kale in your hands (or chop with a knife). place the torn kale leaves in your skillet with the oil on medium to low. Chop your garlic and add to the kale. Allow your kale to cook on this setting for approximately 5 minutes, or until it is tender. Reduce heat on kale, until you salmon is ready. 

While cooking the salmon, sprinkle your dill on top, flip it and sprinkle some more. Once salmon is done, lay your kale down on your plate and place salmon on top. The best bite comes when you have a little bit of the salmon and the kale and garlic all in one! YUM!! I sliced up some cherry tomatoes for garnish and a little pop of color, yeah, I'm getting kind of ridiculous with this.....
