Prep Time: 18 minutes

Cook Time: 7 minutes

Total Time: 25 minutes

4 servings

  • 3 tablespoons flax meal
  • 3 tablespoons semolina flour or flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt, optional
  • 12 ounces skinless flounder or Pollock fillets, thawed if frozen
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 2 teaspoons chopped fresh rosemary leaves
  • 3 cups coarsely chopped Swiss chard (stems finely chopped)
  • 3 cups coarsely chopped fresh kale (stems finely chopped)
  • 1/2 cup quartered pitted ripe olives
  • 1/3 cup coarsely chopped pitted green olives

Mix flax meal, flour and salt (if desired) in shallow dish or pie plate. Coat fillets evenly with mixture; pressing lightly to coat. Place on baking sheet or platter and refrigerate. Prepare remaining ingredients; set aside.

In separate large skillet; heat 3 tablespoons olive oil over medium-high heat until very hot but not smoking. Add fillets; cover and cook 3 minutes. Turn fillets; cook uncovered 2 to 4 minutes or until fish flakes easily in center.

Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil in Dutch oven or large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and rosemary; cook and stir 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chard and kale; toss to mix. Cook 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in olives and cook 3 to 4 minutes longer or until greens are wilted but not soft. Serve with fillets. Add pepper to taste.
