Main Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sauce Vierge

    In a bowl, combine cherry tomatoes, fresh basil, lemon juice, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and black pepper. Mix well and set aside.

  2. 2

    Sauté the Kale

    In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Add chopped kale and cook until wilted, about 5-7 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  3. 3

    Cook the Salmon

    In another skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium-high heat until it starts to brown. Season salmon fillets with salt and pepper, then place them in the skillet, skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy, then flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

  4. 4

    Serve

    On each plate, arrange a portion of sautéed kale, top with a salmon fillet, and drizzle with the prepared sauce vierge.
