- 1 can of sardines, drained
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil

Instructions
- Season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and a drizzle of olive oil.

- While the salmon’s cooking, heat a large skillet over medium heat with a splash of olive oil.
- Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Toss in the chard and cook until wilted, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
- Flake the tuna and sardines into the skillet with the chard. Stir gently to combine and heat through.

- Once the salmon is done, remove it from the sous vide bags and give it a quick sear in a hot pan with a bit of butter to get a nice crust.
- Plate the salmon fillets on a bed of the chard and canned fish mixture.
- Garnish with more fresh dill if desired.
