Instructions

  1. Step 1: Pat 6 oz salmon fillets dry with paper towels, then rub 1/2 tsp turmeric evenly over both sides until fully coated.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, then add salmon skin-side down; cook for 4 minutes until golden and edges are crisp.
  3. Step 3: Flip salmon, reduce heat to medium, and cook for 3 minutes more until fish flakes easily with a fork; transfer to a plate.
  4. Step 4: In the same skillet, add 2 cups chopped kale and 1 tsp lemon zest, stirring constantly until kale is slightly wilted and vibrant green, about 2 minutes.
