Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

  • ¾ cup chopped onion

  • ¾ cup chopped red bell pepper

  • 3 tablespoons tomato paste

  • 1 teaspoon salt, divided

  • ¾ teaspoon ground pepper, divided, plus more for sprinkling

  • 2 cups coarsely chopped chard

  • 2 (15 ounce) cans no-salt-added cannellini beans (white kidney beans), rinsed and drained

  • ½ cup reduced-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth

  • 8 (4 ounce) fresh or frozen skinless salmon fillets, thawed

  • 2 cups halved cherry tomatoes

  • 8 teaspoons grated Pecorino Romano cheese

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a very large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion and bell pepper; cook 5 minutes or until tender, stirring occasionally. Stir in tomato paste, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of the ground pepper; cook and stir 2 minutes. Stir in chard. Cook and stir 1 minute or until chard is wilted. Stir in beans and broth; cool. Cover and chill up to 3 days.

  2. To serve, preheat broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil and coat with cooking spray.

  3. Rinse fish; pat dry. Measure thickness of the fish. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Brush with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper. Broil 4 inches from the heat 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness or until the fish flakes easily (if the fish is 1 inch or more thick, turn once).

  4. Meanwhile, cook the bean mixture in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat 5 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally. If needed, thin with up to 1/2 cup water to desired consistency. Stir in tomatoes.

  5. Arrange the fish on top of the bean mixture. Sprinkle with cheese and additional ground pepper.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
