Garlic Hummus

Roasted Red Bell Peppers

Sautéed Garlic Swiss Chard

Basil Pesto

Toasted Almonds

Salmon

Method

Garlic Hummus

  1. 1

    Prepare the Hummus

    In a food processor, combine the canned chickpeas, tahini, garlic cloves, lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and water. Blend until smooth, adding more water if necessary to achieve desired consistency. Set aside.

Roasted Red Bell Peppers

  1. 2

    Roast the Peppers

    Preheat your oven to 450°F (232°C). Cut the red bell peppers in half and remove the seeds. Toss them with olive oil and salt. Place the peppers cut side down on a baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes until the skin is blistered and charred. Remove from the oven and let cool before peeling away the skin.

Sautéed Garlic Swiss Chard

  1. 3

    Sauté the Swiss Chard

    In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Add the chopped Swiss chard, and salt. Cook for about 5-7 minutes until the chard is wilted and tender. Remove from heat.

Basil Pesto

  1. 4

    Make the Basil Pesto

    In a food processor, combine fresh basil leaves, pine nuts, parmesan cheese, olive oil, garlic cloves, and salt. Blend until smooth. Adjust seasoning if necessary and set aside.

Toasted Almonds

  1. 5

    Toast the Almonds

    In a small skillet over medium heat, add the sliced almonds. Toast for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until golden brown and fragrant. Remove from heat and set aside.

Salmon

  1. 6

    Cook the Salmon

    Season the salmon fillets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper. In a skillet over medium-high heat, cook the salmon for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until cooked through and flakey. Remove from heat.
