Pan Roasted Salmon With Wilted Chard And Tomato Mint Raita Recipes

Steps:

• Bring the salmon to room temperature 10 minutes before cooking.
• Warm a large nonstick skillet with oil over medium-low heat. Season the fish with salt and pepper. Raise the heat to medium-high. Place the salmon, skin-side up in the pan. Cook until golden brown on 1 side, about 4 minutes. Turn the fish over with a spatula, and cook until it feels firm to the touch and the skin is crisp if desired, about 3 minutes more.
• The skin can be served or removed easily with a knife or spoon.
• Transfer to a plate and serve as desired.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Squeeze excess liquid from daikon and cucumber. Mix with yogurt, lemon juice, mint, and cayenne in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Set the raita aside.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add collard greens to pot, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook, tossing occasionally, until tender, 10-15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Season fish with salt and pepper; cook skin side down until skin is crisp, 5-8 minutes. Transfer to oven (do not turn fish); roast until opaque in the center, about 4 minutes.
• Add radishes and vinegar to collard greens; season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Divide greens, salmon, and reserved raita among plates.

Steps:

• 1. Prepare raite: combine tomatoes, cucumber, yogurt, mint, mustard, red pepper flakes if using, and cumin in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Set aside to allow flavors to blend. 2. Prepare salmon: stir together ginger and curry powder and season with salt and pepper. Pat spice mixture onto top of each salmon piece. Heat oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add salmon, spiced sides down, and cook, covered, for 5 min. Turn salmon over and cook, covered, until just cooked through, about 2 min. Place salmon on a dinner plate. Pour off any excess oil from pan. Add shallot to skillet and saute for 30 seconds. Stir in broth and boil until reduced by half. Pour pan sauce over salmon. Keep warm. 3. Prepare chard: while salmon is cooking, heat oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat. Add chard and broth. Cover and cook until greens wilt, stirring occasionally, about 3 minutes. Uncover; cook until juices thicken slightly, about 2 min. Season with salt and pepper. 4. Place wilted greens on plate with salmon. Serve raita with each portion.
