Instructions

1. 1

   Cook Within: How to get perfect, crispy garlic: cut garlic as thinly and uniformly as possible so they cook at same rate. As garlic cooks, keep heat low so oil bubbles slowly. Remove garlic from oil as soon as it turns golden brown. Discard burned garlic as it will taste bitter. Delicious and healthy, try using garlic chips as a garnish for salads, soups, and even french fries.

2. 2

   Cook the Garlic Chips: Line a plate with a paper towel. Slice garlic very thinly with 1 Tbsp. olive oil. Place pan over medium heat. As soon as oil begins to bubble, turn heat to low. Cook 12-15 minutes, as garlic slices slowly dry out and begin to brown. Once they are golden brown, immediately remove to towel-lined plate and allow to cool. Reserve oil and pan.

   Cook the Creamed Kale: Return pan with garlic oil to medium-high heat. Add shallots to hot pan. Cook, stirring often, until shallots begin to soften, 2 minutes. Add ¼ cup water and cream and bring to a boil. Once boiling, add kale and ¼ tsp. salt. Cover and reduce heat to medium. Cook until kale wilts and sauce has thickened, 4-5 minutes.

   Plate the Dish: Add creamed kale to a plate and garnish with grape tomatoes. Place salmon over kale and tomatoes. Place a lemon quarter on plate to be squeezed over recipe–it has bigger grains and is easier to pinch than table salt, allowing more control over flavor. If using regular table salt, reduce measured amounts • Kale will initially crowd pan but will cook down quickly. If it’s falling out of pan, add in the recipe before you start–we promise it will be time
