3. Remove the tough rib from the kale and discard. Place the kale leaves into a bowl, cover with boiling water and leave for 10 minutes.

4. Place the salmon, ricotta and zest from one lemon into the bowl of a food processor. Drain the kale, pat dry and add to the processor. Pulse to combine, don’t over mix (if you don’t have a food processor finely chop the salmon and kale then mix with the ricotta and lemon zest). Set to one side.

and sauté for three minutes.

Chef's tip

If you don’t have an oven proof frying pan, pour the cooked sauce into an oven proof dish, place the filled conchiglie shells on top and bake. Swap the kale for spinach when in season.
