Salmon

Collard Greens

Romesco Sauce

Lemon Thyme Butter

Method

Preparing the Salmon

  1. 1

    Season the Salmon

    Rub the salmon fillets with olive oil, salt, and black pepper on both sides.

  2. 2

    Sear the Salmon

    In a hot skillet, add a little olive oil. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and sear for about 4-5 minutes until crispy. Flip and sear the other side for another 3-4 minutes until cooked through.

Cooking the Collard Greens

  1. 3

    Sauté Garlic

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

  2. 4

    Add Collard Greens

    Add chopped collard greens to the pot along with vegetable broth, red pepper flakes, and salt. Cover and cook for about 25-30 minutes until the greens are tender.

Making the Romesco Sauce

  1. 5

    Blend the Ingredients

    In a food processor, combine roasted red bell pepper, toasted almonds, minced garlic, olive oil, red wine vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Blend until smooth.

Preparing the Lemon Thyme Butter

  1. 6

    Mix the Butter

    In a small bowl, combine softened butter with lemon zest, fresh thyme leaves, and a pinch of salt. Mix until well combined.

Plating the Dish

  1. 7

    Assemble the Plate

    On each plate, place a generous serving of collard greens, top with a seared salmon fillet, drizzle with romesco sauce, and finish with a dollop of lemon thyme butter.
