Salmon Fillet with Kale, Potatoes and Turnips

Today's post features a guest Chef ***Yervant Terzian**! He's been talking about his amazing kale and potatoes recipe for weeks now, so we finally got together for an afternoon of cooking.

I also made a side of rice noodles and thai curry featured in my first entry on this blog.

Here is what you'll need:

-4 salmon fillets

-Bag of Kale

-6 cloves of garlic

-Baby potatoes

-Turnips

-4 Limes

-1 large onion

-Zataar (if available)

This is us chopping the veggies. How cute.

You can halve the potatoes or just bake them whole, depending on size and your preference..

Then mix them all up with the turnips in a baking dish. Add salt and pepper.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. We're cooking these first since they take the longest to bake through..

Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with Zatar. Zatar is an Arabic spice, you can get it at certain grocery stores or if you want authentic Zatar go to a middle eastern supermarket or you can also order it online. It really ads a subtle zest to the veggies,

Now for Yervant's favourite part..

Cut out the stems from the Kale leaves, makes it a more tender dish, since the stems are thick and chewy.

Make sure you buy plenty of Kale because after cooking it diminishes in size like crazy!

Heat up olive oil in a big pan and add the chopped garlic in

Mmmmmmmm

Let it simmer on medium-low heat for a few minutes . Keep stirring and smelling the deliciousness..

Oh look! potatoes and parsnips are done.

Now for the salmon glaze, you will need these 3 key ingredients

-honey

-soy sauce

-Lime

Lay the salmon out in a baking pan, lined with tinfoil or wax paper

Lay out the salmon and drizzle with the glaze.

Add some chopped onions on top for flavour

And throw it in the oven for 15-20 minutes. If you prefer a softer, poached salmon, wrap it in tinfoil.

When finished baking, drizzle some more of the soy-honey lime sauce over the salmon.

We decided to put the salmon on top of the potatoes and turnips.

And this is my side-curry dish :)

Bon Appetit!
