Swiss chard in the Fresh-Tech box? Brad knows exactly what to do with it! 👨🍳🥬
Today, Brad’s taking you through all the steps to make this delicious salmon and swiss chard dinner, starting with ingredients straight from our Fresh-Tech box! 🌱 Our boxes are filled with fresh produce to make putting nutritious meals on the table a little easier.
This box did come with one little twist… a bottle of Chardonnay 😉🍷
INGREDIENTS:
- 4 salmon fillets
- 1 bunch of Fresh-Tech Swiss chard
- 1 sweet onion
- A few cloves of garlic
- 1 lemon
- Olive oil
For the smoky salmon rub:
- 2 tbsp brown sugar
- 2 tbsp pepper
- 1 tbsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp paprika
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp dried basil (and if you’re next level, dry some Fresh-Tech basil yourself!)
STEP 1: Mix together all of your smoky rub ingredients. Score the salmon fillets and generously sprinkle with the rub.
STEP 2: Dice your sweet onion, mince the garlic, and zest your lemon. Remove the Swiss chard leaves from the stems, then chop the stems and leaves separately.
STEP 3: Heat olive oil in a cast-iron skillet. Add the onion and chard stems with a little of the rub seasoning, followed by the garlic. Cook, then remove from the pan and set aside.
STEP 4: Add a little more olive oil and cook your salmon. Flip and baste with the oil in the pan as it cooks. Once the salmon reaches 145°F, remove it from the heat.
STEP 5: Finish the chard! Add the stem mixture back into the pan, followed by the chard leaves, a little more rub seasoning, lemon zest, and the juice of half a lemon. Cook until the leaves are tender and wilted.
Then plate it up, add a little more lemon juice, pour your favorite glass of w**e, and enjoy! 🍷🍋
