Slow-Cooked Salmon w/ Turnips & Chard

Ingredients

·4 (6-oz) pieces skinless salmon fillet
·4 tablespoons olive oil, divided
·1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
·Kosher salt
·4 garlic cloves, peeled, smashed
·1½ pound turnips, scrubbed and roughly chopped
·Freshly ground black pepper
·2 bunches rainbow chard
·1 small shallot, finely chopped
·¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
·¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
·1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
·1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
·Toasted sesame seeds, for garnish

Directions

Preheat oven to 250°F. Place salmon in a large baking dish; drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle with lemon zest, and gently rub. Season with salt and scatter garlic around. Bake until salmon is medium-rare (mostly opaque but still slightly translucent in the center), 30–35 minutes. Meanwhile, combine turnips with 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 cup water in a large skillet. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until turnips are fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes. Uncover and cook, tossing occasionally, until liquid is evaporated and turnips are golden, about 5 minutes. While turnips are cooking, remove ribs and stems from chard leaves and thinly slice them. Heat remaining tablespoon of olive oil in another large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shallot and chard ribs and stems, stirring often, until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes. Add Swiss chard leaves and cook, tossing often, until leaves are wilted, about 2 minutes. Toss in cilantro, parsley, lemon juice, and a little salt. Drizzle salmon with sesame oil and serve with chard and turnips. Sprinkle with sesame seeds, then enjoy!

Such an amazing project which results in amazing veg to feed us throughout the week ! It has also introduced us to veg we might otherwise not have tried and love them now. And it's all local and chemical free! Cannot recommend it enough :)
