It is served alongside earthy collard greens, which are gently steamed with garlic and finished with a splash of sherry vinegar for a bright, acidic lift.

To complete this nutritious meal, a homemade raita featuring daikon and cucumber adds a refreshing creamy element. This recipe is an excellent choice for those seeking a high-protein, low-carbohydrate dinner that feels sophisticated yet remains simple to prepare. Using Greek yogurt in the sauce ensures the dish remains light while providing a satisfying savoury finish to every bite.

How to make Pan-Roasted Salmon with Collards and Radish Raita

Preheat oven to 177°C. Squeeze excess liquid from daikon and cucumber. Mix with yoghurt, lemon juice, mint, and cayenne in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper. Set the raita aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large heavy pot over medium heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring constantly, just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add collard greens to pot, reduce heat to low, cover, and cook, tossing occasionally, until tender, 10-15 minutes.

Meanwhile, heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Season fish with salt and pepper; cook skin side down until skin is crisp, 5-8 minutes. Transfer to oven (do not turn fish); roast until opaque in the centre, about 4 minutes.

Add radishes and vinegar to collard greens; season with salt and pepper and toss to combine. Divide greens, salmon, and reserved raita among plates.
