Sharing is caring!

A One-Pan Whole30, Gluten Free, Dairy Free Salmon Recipe with Fresh Rainbow Swiss Chard, Seasoned with Oranges and Olives.

 This is one of my all time favorite Whole30, easy seafood and swiss chard enticing entree recipes. The salmon and swiss chard cook together in one pan, allowing for infused flavors and (a quick clean up!) Healthy and full of salty tings thanks to the briny essences of olives; this dinner comes together in a snap. A squeeze of fresh lemon added over the salmon at the last minute ties this lovely, one pot sauté up into a satisfying meal. Swiss chard is readily available at farm stands, grocery stores (or if you have a planting plot!) your backyard throughout the summer season into the fall. Swiss chard is full of  antioxidants, paired with protein heavy salmon this quick recipe is just perfection.

The flavor of olives goes a long way here….

The Salmon and Rainbow Chard recipe below is inspired by my quick appetizer for pan roasted olives with citrus zest and marinated artichoke hearts. The olives, salmon and chard work perfectly together for a quick weeknight stovetop one-pan cook up. I hope you enjoy the bright, punchy flavors of this low carb, whole 30 compliant, seafood dish.

Rainbow Swiss Chard or “chard” is a nutrient filled, versatile veggie that cooks up quickly and can be used in a variety of recipes. Season this leafy garden green with a variety of spices. For this easy swiss chard recipe I keep it super simple and keep all the ingredients cooking in one pan, and the after dinner dish clean-up to a minimum.

Salmon is filled with heart healthy fats, Omega-3’s and cooks quickly as well. Pan searing salmon, if you are stumped on how to cook salmon fillet, always creates delicious recipe results.
