Broiled salmon with buttered greens

Living in the North West, wild salmon should be staple of any healthy diet. This is one way that I prepare it.

Broiled Salmon:

500g Wild Salmon marinated in EVOO, lemon juice, fresh dill, and dried mustard seeds, black pepper, chile pepper, celery ceed, bay leaves, basil, fennel, oregano and thyme.

Simply preheat oven to a 500 degree broil and throw the fish in about 5" under the heat source for 5-8 minutes. Watch closely!

Buttered greens: 


500g Turnip greens, collards, mustard greens, kale, and spinach.
250g Mushrooms
150g Sweet onion
5-10 cloves of garlic (or less if you're not a big a fan as I am)
50g Pastured Butter

In a large stock pot - saute onions, garlic, and mushrooms with a generous amount of butter. During this process I add black pepper, and a seasoning blend containing sea salt, mustard seeds, coriander, onion, paprika, and chili pepper. The spicing is really up to your own palette - as the onions, garlic, and mushrooms supply quite a lot of flavor. Add in greens and cover. Open the pot and stir occasionally until the mixture as soft or crunchy as you want it.

Serve! If you have additional calorie requirements - serve with a pat of butter or add bacon to the recipe!

You can divide this up into as many servings as you like! I typically intermittent fast most days out of the week and eat only two large meals. At my intake of 2200kcal on rest days... this be a little more than half of my days energy requirements.

Cheers!
