Ingredients
- 6 oz salmon fillets
- 1 tbsp, finely grated fresh ginger
- 1/4, sliced avocado
- 2 cups, stems removed and chopped kale
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 1/2, juiced lime
- 1/4 tsp sea salt
Instructions
- Step 1: Pat salmon dry with paper towels and season both sides with 1/4 tsp sea salt. Heat 1/2 tbsp olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add salmon skin-side down. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until skin is crispy, then flip and cook for 3 minutes until opaque and flaky.
- Step 2: While salmon cooks, massage kale with 1 tbsp lime juice and a pinch of sea salt for 2 minutes until softened and vibrant green.
- Step 3: Whisk remaining lime juice, 1/2 tbsp olive oil, and grated ginger in a small bowl until emulsified, then drizzle over kale. Top salmon with avocado slices and serve immediately while salmon is still warm.
