Ingredients
  • 2 Salmon Filets; 8oz ea
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 1 lb Endives
  • 1.5 tablespoons Butter
  • 0 to taste Salt
  • 0 to taste Pepper
  • 1 to taste Lemon juice
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if roasting the salmon, or heat a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  2. 2
    Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
  3. 3
    Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until skin is crispy. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until just cooked through. Remove from heat and set aside.

    While salmon cooks, trim the bitter base from the endives. Shred the endives finely into thin strips.
  5. 5
    In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add the shredded endives and sauté for 5-7 minutes until tender and slightly caramelized.
  6. 6
    Season the endives with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Toss to combine.
  7. 7
    Plate the salmon fillets and serve alongside the warm endive mixture. Garnish with additional lemon wedges if desired.

Note

For best results, ensure the endives are shredded thinly to allow them to cook quickly and absorb the butter flavor.

If you prefer a softer texture for the endives, you can cover the skillet with a lid for the last 2 minutes of cooking.

Salmon can also be baked in the oven at 400°F for 12-15 minutes if you prefer not to use a skillet.

Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven.

Substitute endives with chicory or radicchio if endives are unavailable, adjusting cooking time as needed.
