Instructions

  1. Step 1: Whisk together 2 tbsp white miso paste, 1 tbsp coconut aminos, 1 tbsp water, and 1 tsp sesame oil in a small bowl until smooth; set aside.
  2. Step 2: Pat 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) dry with paper towels, then brush both sides with 1 tbsp of the miso glaze.
  3. Step 3: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering; add salmon skin-side down and cook for 3 minutes without moving to develop a crust.
  4. Step 4: Flip salmon, transfer skillet to a preheated oven at 400°F, and bake for 10-12 minutes until cooked through and glaze is bubbling.
  5. Step 5: While salmon bakes, heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a separate skillet over medium heat; add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  6. Step 6: Add 4 cups chopped kale to the skillet and cook, stirring frequently, for 3-4 minutes until wilted and tender.
  7. Step 7: Stir in 1 tbsp sesame seeds, 1 tsp lemon zest, and 1 tbsp lemon juice; cook for 1 minute more until flavors meld.
