Ingredients

  • Four 5-ounce center-cut salmon fillets, about 1 inch thick
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • Kosher salt
  • 1 bunch kale, ribs removed and leaves very thinly sliced (about 6 cups)
  • 1/4 cup dates
  • 1 Honeycrisp apple
  • 1/4 cup finely grated pecorino
  • 3 tablespoons toasted slivered almonds
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Method

  1. Let the salmon stand at room temperature for 10 minutes.
  2. In a large bowl, whisk the lemon juice with 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Toss in the kale and let it soften for 10 minutes.
  3. Thinly slice the dates and cut the apple into matchsticks. Add both to the kale with the pecorino and almonds, season with pepper, and toss.
  4. Season the salmon with 1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper. Warm the remaining tablespoon of oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-low heat, then increase the heat to medium-high.
  5. Cook the salmon presentation-side down for about 4 minutes until golden. Turn and cook for about 3 minutes more, until firm to the touch.
  6. Divide the salmon and kale-apple salad among four plates.
