This heart-healthy salmon recipe is courtesy of Michael Pollan.

Ingredients

Serves 4.

  • 4 pieces (3 to 4 ounces each) boneless, skinless salmon
  • Olive oil
  • Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
  • 4 fig leaves
  • 1/2 pound kale, torn into small pieces

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Drizzle salmon with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Wrap each piece of salmon in a fig leaf and place on a baking sheet. Transfer to oven and bake until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
  3. Place olive oil in a spray bottle and spray kale with olive oil; season with salt and pepper. Place kale on a baking sheet and transfer to oven. Bake until kale is crispy, about 8 minutes. Divide kale evenly between 4 plates. Unwrap salmon and serve immediately on fig leaves with kale.
