Ingredients:

2 tablespoons (20gm) dried cranberries

1/2 lb chopped kale

1/2 tablespoon lemon juice

1-2 teaspoons lemon zest

freshly ground pepper

1/3 cup thinly sliced red onion

2 6oz filets of salmon, preferably wild Alaskan sockeye

salt & freshly ground pepper

1 tablespoon tahini

2 tablespoons water

Equipment:

oven

baking sheet

spatula

aluminum foil

bowl

frying pan

tongs

Cooking instruction summary:

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Place salmon on a foil-lined baking sheet. (If the salmon has its skin on, you will not need to grease the foil, and you can easily slide a spatula between the meat and skin when the salmon is done cooking, leaving the skin behind. If the skin has already been removed, spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle salmon with lemon zest, salt and pepper. Bake in preheated oven for 10 minutes, or until just opaque in the center. Meanwhile, place cranberries in a small bowl and cover with hot water. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onions with a splash of water, and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the kale (a few handfuls at a time if it doesn't all fit) and cook, turning with tongs, for about 10 minutes, or until all the kale is wilted. Season with a pinch of salt. Stir together tahini, lemon juice and water, and add freshly ground pepper to taste. Pour the tahini sauce over the kale. Drain the cranberries and add to the pan. Stir until everything is coated and heated through. Plate the salmon with the warm kale, and serve immediately.

Food Trivia

The fig is also a fertility symbol and the Arab association with male genitals is so strong that the original word 'fig' is considered improper.

Food Joke

The Passover test [My thanks to Jeff G for the following] Sean is waiting for a bus when another man joins him at the bus stop. After 20 minutes of waiting, Sean takes out a sandwich from his lunch box and starts to eat. But noticing the other man watching, Sean asks, "Would you like one? My wife has made me plenty." "Thank you very much, but I must decline your kind offer," says the other man, "I’m Rabbi Levy." "Nice to meet you, Rabbi," says Sean, "but my sandwiches are alright for you to eat. They only contain cheese. There’s no meat in them." "It’s very kind of you," says Rabbi Levy, "but today we Jews are celebrating Passover. It would be a great sin to eat a sandwich because during the 8 days of Passover, we cannot eat bread. In fact it would be a sin comparable to the sin of adultery." "OK," says Sean, "but it’s difficult for me to understand the significance of what you’ve just said." Many weeks later, Sean and Rabbi Levy meet again. Sean says, "Do you remember, Rabbi, that when we last met, I offered you a sandwich which you refused because you said eating bread on Passover would be as great a sin as that of adultery?" Rabbi Levy replies, "Yes, I remember saying that." "Well, Rabbi," says Sean, "that day, I went over to my mistress’s apartment and told her what you said. We then tried out both the sins, but I must admit, we just couldn’t see the comparison."
