Ingredients
- 2 oz salmon filets
- 1 box macaroni and cheese pasta I like Annie’s or Banza, your favorite
- 1 bunch dinosaur Lacinato kale, chopped
- 3 teaspoons olive oil divided
- salt to taste, sea salt
- black pepper to taste
- lemon for serving, slices
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 475°F.
- Follow the package directions for making the mac and cheese.
- Meanwhile coat each salmon filet with with a little olive oil (about 1/2 teaspoon per filet) and liberally season with salt and pepper. Add salmon to baking dish and bake for 5-6 minutes. You may need to cook longer, depending on the size of your salmon filets. Turn broiler on and broil for 1 additional minute, just to give the outside a little crisp and for the salmon to turn golden brown.
- While salmon is baking, heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Add chopped kale and sauté for 5 minutes or until kale is wilted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Remove salmon from the oven and serve. Grab two shallow bowls. Add salmon with fresh lemon slices on top, sautéed kale and a portion of mac and cheese. Enjoy warm.
