1
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit and arrange salmon fillets in a large baking dish.
2
Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil over the salmon fillets, sprinkle with finely grated lemon zest and rub into the salmon gently. Season each fillet with 1 teaspoon kosher salt and scatter the smashed garlic around the dish.
3
Bake the salmon in the pre-heated oven until it's mostly opaque but still slightly translucent in the center, about 30–35 minutes.
4
While the salmon is baking, combine the baby turnips, 1 tablespoon olive oil, and 1 cup water in a large skillet. Season with the remaining 1 teaspoon kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
5
Cover the skillet and cook until the turnips are fork-tender, about 15–20 minutes. Then, uncover and cook, tossing occasionally, until the liquid evaporates and the turnips become golden, approximately 5 minutes more.
6
In another large skillet over medium-high heat, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Cook the shallot and Swiss chard, stirring often, until beginning to soften, about 3 minutes.
7
Add the Swiss chard leaves to the skillet and cook, tossing often, until the leaves wilt, which should take around 2 minutes.
8
Toss in the chopped cilantro, flat-leaf parsley, and fresh lime juice into the Swiss chard. Season this mixture with salt to taste.
9
Drizzle the cooked salmon with toasted sesame oil. Serve the salmon with the Swiss chard and golden baby turnips, and top with a sprinkle of toasted sesame seeds.
