Pan Seared Salmon with Steamed Greens

 
 

SIMPLE PAN SEARED SALMON WITH STEAMED GREENS -
Heat skillet over medium heat and add about 2 tablespoons olive oil and a large clove of garlic, sliced.  Sauté garlic just until it smells fragrant and starts to turn golden. Remove if you want but I leave it in.   Add a bit more oil if needed, then add about a tablespoon or so of lemon juice.  Turn heat to high.  Add salmon and shake pan so fish doesn’t stick.  Cook until golden brown on each side, but don’t overcook.  Serve with steamed greens or simply alone with pan juices, adding a lemon wedge for garnish.  

SPEEDY STEAMED GREENS  - 
Leave a bit of water clinging to chard, spinach or other green leaves after washing. Put in a big pot and cover. Turn heat on high. Greens will wilt nicely after a couple of minutes.  
Even tastier:
 Film a pan with olive oil and add a bit of chopped garlic and red pepper flakes. Add washed greens. Cook, stirring often, until slightly wilted.  Season with sea salt.  

TO SERVE:
Make a bed of spinach.  Lay salmon on top. Drizzle with pan juices. YUM!
