Something magical happens when you patiently fry slices of garlic until they are golden brown. These crispy little chips lend mellow garlic flavor and a pleasant crunch to this pan-seared salmon. Add in lemon zest for citrusy lightness, and the aromas alone are enough to win you over. The delicate creamed kale and charred tomatoes round out a meal packed with freshness and flavor.
