Salmon with Apples, Potatoes, and Kale

Ingredients:

• 2 bunches kale, stalks removed and coarsely chopped
• 1 Tbsp. chopped green onion
• 1-1/2 tsp. minced garlic
• Pinch dried red pepper flakes
• 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
• 4 potatoes cut into french fry like slices boiled until just al dente
• 4 skinless Salmon fillets (I like to use Captain Highliner)
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 4 bacon strips, finely diced (I use my favourite turkey bacon to keep the fat down)
• 2 small Granny Smith apples, cored, peeled and finely diced
• 2 Tbsp red wine vinegar
• 2 Tbsp apple juice
  

Directions:
Sauté kale, green onion, garlic and red pepper flakes in olive oil. Transfer to serving plate; toss with cooked potatoes, cover and keep warm.

Season salmon with salt and pepper. Sear salmon in sauté pan, about 3 to 4 minutes per side; transfer to plate and keep warm.

Cook bacon over medium-low heat in the same pan until crisp. If using regular bacon, drin excess fat from the pan. Add apple, apple juice, and vinegar; cook for 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Drizzle vinaigrette over salmon, kale and potatoes.
