YIELD: 4 servings

ACTIVE TIME: 5 minutes

TOTAL TIME: 15 minutes

INGREDIENTS

4 salmon fillets, about 1 1/2 pounds

Salt and pepper to taste

2 large handfuls mixed herbs such as parsley, dill, or chervil

2 bunches swiss chard (or kale), stemmed and torn into small pieces

1/4 cup pine nuts, toasted

1/4 cup raisins, soaked for ten minutes in warm water

Olive oil, for finishing

DIRECTIONS

1.Bring 1 inch of water to boil in the bottom of two pots fitted with a steamer insert. Season the salmon fillets liberally with salt and pepper. Lay the mixed herbs in the bottom of the steamer basket and arrange the fillets on top of it. Cover the pot and steam until the salmon just begins to flake, about ten minutes.

3.Divide the kale between four plates, then transfer the fillets on top. Garnish with the pine nuts and raisins, and drizzle the whole dish with olive oil. Serve with sea salt as needed.
