You go down a couple of layers. I bet this would work with marinated tofu, stirred and fried and then drizzled on top. LOL, I know that sounds less appealing than salmon. And Fenway wouldn't be pleased if you offered him tofu instead of fish. Lovely dog, by the way.

But I love greens, and I often fix my salmon this way on a bed of wilted greens. If I don't have fresh available, I'll use frozen spinach.<br /><br />And I do eat some foods just because they're good for me - but if I don't like them, I'll only eat them once :) I'm glad there is a big variety of ways to get the different vitamins and minerals we need. Where we live, we don't have a huge selection of fresh foods, especially in the winter (distance from distribution center + commercial driving laws + bitter cold weather = spoiled produce), but frozen can be a good substitute.<br /><br />Thanks for the recipe!

I already eat most of the other items on the folate chart so guess I'm good to go there. But I've never thought to cook those leafy greens. I thought you ate them raw. Sounds yummy. But I must try with something other than salmon. Am not fond of fish. <br /><br />Thanks for sharing this.

At least I don't think I have. You never know what might have snuck into a salad somewhere.<br /><br />My husband loves greens (mustard, collard, spinach) and is always complaining that don't fix them often enough. Guess I should remedy that. Will have to keep my eyes open for escarole.<br /><br />Now, as for eating certain foods because they're good for me? Occasionally, but it's more the exception than the rule. We eat a lot of salmon, knowing that it's good for us, however we also happen to like it. Steak is a good source of iron. I need iron and I LOVE steak. Let's see...dark chocolate has antioxidants, as does red wine. Guess that about covers it. 😉Mindy Obenhaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15049730175697756032noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7945786327884906788.post-46179919678116147072015-06-24T06:49:16.745-04:002015-06-24T06:49:16.745-04:00Good morning, Virginia.

If it's drowned in ranch dressing which brings its own issues.<br />But THIS? yes, this I could do. And salmon is nice and cheap here. I looked at a big piece today for 4.99 a lb, Chinook salmon fresh caught on the Columbia near us. But I had already told the kids we were having spaghetti. Sigh.<br /> But I'm trying this the next time I make salmon. Looks delicious!Mary Jane Hathawayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17996627730074514978noreply@blogger.com
