Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 325F

Step 2

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

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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

Step 5

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 7

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

Step 8

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

Step 9

Enjoy!
