The other day while traveling with my business partner she was talking about the wonderful Kale that her husband makes and how often they eat it. It got me thinking, I need to try and cook it again. I tried before and did not care for the taste and texture. This time is was a hit. Here is the complete dish.
Salmon – cooked in Parchment Paper:
1lb Salmon
¼ cup of chopped fresh ginger
2-3 sliced garlic cloves
2 slices scallions
Fresh Lemon Juice
Drizzle of olive oil
Salt/Pepper
Place the parchment paper in a baking dish (Using enough to wrap it up) cover with the garlic, ginger, scallions and then drizzle lightly with olive oil. Squeeze on some fresh lemon and salt/pepper. Then wrap it up and bake at 375 for about 20 minutes.
Kale:
1 big bunch of Kale – chopped coarsely
2-3 sliced garlic cloves
½ up of vegetable or chicken stock
Lemon juice
1 teaspoon of sesame oil
Salt/Pepper
Heat up the olive oil and cook the garlic until soft and then add in the Kale and stock, cover and cook for about 5 mins. Remove the cover and knock the heat back to med and cook down for a couple minutes until the liquid evaporates and then add the lemon juice, sesame oil and salt pepper. Toss it together well.
I served it up with a bit of rice and some fresh heirloom tomatoes on the side. It was a very quick and healthy meal. I am now a fan of Kale!
