• Freshly ground black pepper

• 2 bunches Swiss chard

How to make Slow-Cooked Salmon with Turnips and Swiss Chard

Preheat oven to 250°. Place salmon in a large baking dish; drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle with lemon zest, and gently rub into flesh. Season with salt and scatter garlic around. Bake until salmon is medium-rare(mostly opaque but still slightly translucent in the centre), 30-35 minutes.

Meanwhile, combine turnips, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 240ml water in a large skillet; season with salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until turnips are fork-tender, 15-20 minutes. Uncover and cook, tossing occasionally, until liquid is evaporated and turnips are golden, 5 minutes.

While turnips are cooking, remove ribs and stems from Swiss chard leaves. Thinly slice ribs, stems, and leaves crosswise. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in another large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shallot and Swiss 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 coriander, parsley, and lime juice; season with salt.

Drizzle salmon with sesame oil. Serve salmon with Swiss chard and turnips, topped with sesame seeds.
