Asian Greens with Pan Seared Salmon. Cooking Chat recipe.I have a lot of greens in my fridge now. I had even more a few days ago, but I’ve gotten busy coming up with tasty new recipes like this Asian Greens with Pan Seared Salmon!

I’ve been cooking these greens with bacon for a pasta dish, making kale pesto, and tossing some basic salads. I was ready for something different.

Asian greens tossed with Cooking Chat dressing for Pan Seared Salmon

I was wondering what to do with the EnerCHI Asian Salad that I had on hand. Then it occurred to me that these greens would go nicely with the simple Pan Seared Salmon that is a go-to meal in our house. This salmon gets quickly cooked with a ginger soy marinade, giving it an Asian accent that promised to work with the greens. You can grab the Pan Seared Salmon recipe on this older Cooking Chat post, here I’ll focus on how I prepared the greens and served them with the salmon.

You can vary the dressing a bit to suit your taste. The key elements are some soy sauce, brown rice vinegar and brown sugar (which offsets the slight bitterness of the greens).  Get the dressing ready, then toss it with the greens as the salmon cooks (which takes under 10 minutes). This is a simple yet elegant weeknight meal, with the salmon handsomely served along with the nicely dressed Asian greens! Especially nice when you serve it with a good bottle of wine, which we need to mention before getting onto the recipe details….

Asian Greens with Salmon served with Robledo Pinot Blanc

Wine Pairing: We went with the 2010 Robledo Pinot Blanc from Lake County, California. I tasted pear fruit along with a hint of sweetness, which made a nice contrast to the bitter greens and salty element of the dressing. It also had enough body to match well with the meaty salmon. A winning pairing for Asian Greens with Pan Seared Salmon!

    In my opinion this is my idea of a perfect meal. It is perfect for weeknight dinners and special occasions.

    I’m all about the whites and Rosé wines…this is lovely.

      Thanks Tammy! We sure enjoyed this combination. This could probably work with a rose, too.

    […] Asian Greens with Pan Seared Salmon I thought this salmon and greens dish would be a good place to start. We like to eat a lot of healthy salmon here, so it was a bit hard to choose the recipe. I picked this because you also get some super-healthy greens with the lean protein, plus I think the photo is pretty nice! […]
