Early summer is wild salmon season and when this fish is fresh and wild, it’s really hard to resist.  In this  recipe for Roasted Salmon with Savory Rhubarb and Chard, rhubarb is roasted right alongside salmon in the oven. While it is roasting, chard is wilted in a pan with fragrant garlic and lemon. The naturally tart rhubarb mellows beautifully in the oven and pairs well with the salmon and chard. The flavors are bright and fresh, neither becoming overly sour or sweet. It’s a tasty combination and this meal can be made in 25 minutes flat. Give it a whirl this week!

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 shallots ( or sub ½ a red onion)
  • 2  x 12 inch stalks rhubarb
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 salmon filets ( 4–6 ounces each)
  • 2 tablespoons maple syrup
  • 2 tablespoons sherry cooking wine ( or sub 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar)
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 8 sprigs thyme

Wilted Chard

  • 1 bunch chard- leaves chopped, stems chopped thinly and separated
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4  fat garlic cloves- rough chopped
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lemon zest
  • squeeze lemon

Instructions

Preheat oven to 325F

Slice shallots into thin wedges, long ways. Cut rhubarb in half lengthwise and cut into 4 inch pieces.

In a large ovenproof skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Saute shallot for 3-4 minutes, until just tender and fragrant. Add rhubarb, sauting for one minute.

Push shallots and rhubarb to the outer edges of the pan and place salmon in the center.

Season salmon and rhubarb with a little salt and pepper. Drizzle maple syrup just over rhubarb ( do not skimp here- see notes). Drizzle sherry wine ( or balsamic) over the rhubarb ( see notes). Sprinkle with ½ of the thyme leaves ( saving ½ for garnish at the end). Place in the oven and roast for 15 minutes. Check salmon after 10- and pull if necessary ( see notes) -continue cooking rhubarb for full 15 mins or when it is fork tender.

In another skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add garlic and sauté until golden about 2 minutes. Add chard stems, sauté for 1-2 two minutes then add remaining chard and season with salt, pepper, lemon zest and a little squeeze of lemon. Set aside.

Plate the salmon and divide rhubarb shallot mixture among the two plates. Add the wilted chard.

Spoon the flavorful liquid from the salmon pan over the salmon itself. Garnish with remaining sprigs of thyme.

Enjoy!

Notes

Do not be tempted to cut down on the maple syrup– the rhubarb needs it to be palatable.Trust me. I went as low as it can go.

This piece of salmon was 2 ½  inches thick. Thinner salmon cuts may take less time to cook, so check it after ten minutes, and pull it if necessary, letting the rhubarb cook for the full 15 min.

I love this with 2 tablespoons sherry cooking wine (instead of balsamic) so if you have it, use it. If not, sub 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar.

    This was absolutely lovely – healthy, good looking and relatively easy. I hadn’t cooked chard before so wasn’t sure of the timescales and it was a little ropey.

    Hi,
    This recipe sounds awesome. We just talked about different ways to use rhubarb. I just have one question: Do you not peel the rhubarb stalks?
