Happy Friday guys!
We've got a big Labor Day weekend planned, too! Our great friends Ike & Becca are getting married tomorrow - so congrats to the future Lehrs!
Sunday, we'll probably head out to World Fest - which showcases the cultural diversity of Louisville by food, music, and shops! We went last year and had a great time, so looking forward to that one!
Still don't have any Labor Day plans, but if all else fails, I know we'll be lounging around - which is good enough for me! Anyway, let's get to today's dish!
We haven't been eating a lot of red meat around these parts. I don't know why, we've just been opting for lighter meals. Salmon is always a favorite of ours, and when I saw this simple dish over at Joanne's Eats Well With Others, I knew I had to try it out!
Ingredients:
Adapted from Eats Well With Others' Recipe
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil, plus extra for drizzling
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1-inch thick slice of fresh ginger, peeled and minced
1/2 cup kale, chopped
1/2 cup spinach
1/2 cup mizuna greens
1 tablespoon soy sauce, plus extra for drizzling
2 6 oz. salmon fillets
salt and pepper, to taste
2 cups fresh corn
pickled vegetables
In a large skillet under medium high heat, add both oils. Add the ginger and garlic powder. Stir until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add kale, spinach, mizuna, soy sauce, and 3 tablespoons of water. Saute until the greens start to wilt, about 2 to 3 minutes.
Spread the greens in an even layer in the skillet. Season the salmon with salt and pepper and place the fillets on top of the greens in the skillet. Cover pan and lower heat to medium. Steam fish for about 5-7 minutes, or until just cooked through.
You can choose to cook your corn if you'd like, but I'm weird and I like the taste of raw corn. Divide corn among two plates and top with salmon fillets. Serve alongside the greens and pickled vegetables. Drizzle additional sesame oil, soy sauce, and/or remaining steam liquid in pan (it was infused with the garlic and ginger, so it's tasty!).
This was a great meal. Andy and I both had our plates cleaned on this one. That's a sure sign of a winner there!
Hope you guys have a great holiday weekend and I'll be back Monday!
This looks really good. We like salmon alot too. I've never heard of mizuna greens; I'll have to keep my eye out for them.
ReplyDeleteAugust was super busy for us, so I am happy that our Labor Day Weekend plans include staying at home and relaxing! The best way to spend a weekend!
This looks really delicious. Salmon is one of those food items that makes me giddy. Mizuna greens are a new to me ingredient. Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing---this looks awesome! I love salmon and need more of it in my life :)

My husband eats a lot of salmon, but he almost always pan fries it. This looks delicious and would be a nice change!
ReplyDeleteI love salmon! Especially smoked :P Hope you have a great weekend!

ReplyDeletePeggy, what a great looking dish. The pickled vegetables must add such an interested dimension when contrasting with the fish. Bravo!
ReplyDeleteI love pairing salmon with greens. I bet the pickled vegetables added a nice well rounded dimension to the menu.
ReplyDeleteLovely salmon, cooked to the right texture. You have a nice weekend and have fun at the world fest.
ReplyDeleteThis looks so fresh and awesome; great with greens, and I still can't get enough corn! My squeeze & I have been rounding out the summer by eating as much seafood as humanly possible -- I'll have to add this to the list of upcoming fishy dishes.
ReplyDeleteI love salmon, especially steamed or grilled (so that it loses some of its fat)... and this recipe seembs just wonderful!
ReplyDeleteSteamed salmon is one of my favourites anytime...looks so easy to prepare and delicious!

ReplyDeleteI need to find a way to learn about local festivals and things before they pass so that Handsome and I can start to get out more ;) World fest sounds like a bash. This dinner looks solid and filling. I am missing a fish dish in our menu this week but it looks like I need to switch things up!
ReplyDeleteMy family love salmon and this looks easy and delicious! How nice you get mizuna! I don't think I find it in my nearest Japaense supermarket! I have some recipes that I want to make with mizuna... :-)

ReplyDeleteOk I just had to share this with you. The other day I was wondering whether anyone ever eats raw corn, and then I look at this recipe because I love salmon, and here's my answer! The salmon looks delicious :)
