  • ALT_TEXT_PLACEHOLDER 2 tablespoons of St. Germain elderflower liqueur
  • ALT_TEXT_PLACEHOLDER 2 tablespoons of olive oil
  • ALT_TEXT_PLACEHOLDER 1 clove of garlic, minced

The Process

1


Heat up

Begin by preheating a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil.

2


Season

Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Once the skillet is hot, place the fillets skin-side down and sear for about 4 minutes until the skin becomes crispy. Gently flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked to your preferred doneness. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.

3


Add garlic

In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining olive oil and sauté the minced garlic until golden and fragrant, about 1 minute.

4


Add kale

Add the chopped kale to the skillet and sauté until it begins to wilt, about 2-3 minutes.

5


Pour liquids

Pour in the St. Germain liqueur and soy sauce, stirring the kale as it cooks for another minute.

6


Add Flavors

Toss in the diced pineapple and sprinkle sesame seeds over the mixture, sautéing for an additional 2 minutes until the pineapple is warmed through and begins to caramelize lightly.

7


Season

Adjust seasoning with a pinch of salt and pepper if necessary.

8


Assemble

To assemble the dish, divide the pineapple-kale confetti among four plates, creating a colorful bed for the salmon.

9


Presentation

Place a cooked salmon fillet atop the bed of pineapple-kale on each plate.
