SALMON WRAPPED IN COLLARD GREENS WITH WALNUT-YOGURT-DILL SAUCE

Steps:

• If using a grill, spray it with cooking spray and preheat it over medium-high heat. Otherwise, wait to preheat a grill pan.
• Toast the walnuts in a small dry skillet over medium heat, stirring frequently, until fragrant, 4 to 5 minutes. Allow to cool, then chop finely. Place 8 toothpicks in a dish of water and soak until ready to use.
• Cut the collard leaves away from each side of the spines and discard the spines. (You should wind up with 4 long pieces of collard green leaves.)
• Sprinkle the salmon with 1/4 teaspoon each of the salt and pepper. Wrap each salmon fillet with 1 piece of collard leaf and secure with 2 toothpicks. If using a grill pan, spray it with cooking spray and preheat it over medium-high heat.
• Brush the salmon bundles lightly with about 1 tablespoon total of the oil. Grill the salmon bundles until the collard greens are tender and the salmon is just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes per side.
• While the salmon is cooking, make the sauce. Finely zest and then juice the lemon into a small bowl (about 3 tablespoons).
• Chop the dill and add it to the bowl along with the yogurt, walnuts, the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Serve the salmon drizzled with the sauce.

BAKED SALMON FILLET WITH WALNUT SAUCE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place salmon in an oiled baking dish. Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a skillet and add onions. Turn the heat to low, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until onions become soft and pasty (do not brown). Add bell pepper and cook until soft. Stir in paprika and tomato paste and remove from the heat. Briefly toast walnuts, being careful not to burn. Let cool briefly, then add walnuts, salt, pepper and sour cream to onions and bell peppers. Mix well. Spread sauce thickly over the salmon. Drizzle with lemon juice. Bake salmon for about 10 minutes per inch of thickness of fish and sauce (about 15 minutes). Serve with lemon wedges. Makes 6 servings. Tip: This recipe goes wonderfully with an Alsatian Riesling.
