PASSOVER PALATE
Tomato Lonsa Roasted Salmon
Serves 4
4 salmon fillets
½ lemon
Sprinkle of salt and pepper
½ cup Tomato Lonsa or your favorite tomato chutney or sauce
Heat your oven to 300 degrees F.
Line a baking dish with a piece of parchment large enough to fold over
on itself. Place the salmon pieces in the baking dish on the parchment and
sprinkle them with lemon, salt and pepper. Spoon the sauce over each piece
to coat.
Fold the parchment over the top of the fish, sealing it but leaving space
above each piece — you don’t want the paper lying directly on the fish. Bake
the fish for about 25 minutes until it reaches its desired doneness.

You can do this with kale, mustard greens or turnip greens using the same tech-
nique. If you prefer bok choy or spinach, reduce the cooking time.
1 large bunch collard greens, tough stems trimmed
1-inch piece ginger, grated
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 tablespoon oil
½ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon curry powder
Water or broth as needed
Rinse the collard greens well, and remove the tough stems. Taking 2
or 3 leaves at a time, roll them up (like a cigar) and slice them into thin
ribbons. Heat the oil in a large skillet and sauté the ginger, garlic and spices over
medium until fragrant, a few minutes. Add the collard greens and stir to coat
them, then continue turning them over. Add a few tablespoons of broth or water
if needed to avoid burning.
Cover the greens and cook them for about 10 minutes, watching carefully
so the greens don’t scorch. JE

Heart and Sole: Golden Slipper
Celebrates 100 Years
SASHA ROGELBERG | STAFF WRITER
C Th e organization’s Passover League, now a part of Gems, gives hundreds
of Jews a seder to attend, who otherwise wouldn’t have had a place to go; and
Gems’ Human Needs and Services program gives aid to those in and outside
the Jewish community who may need a dental procedure, a wheelchair, a roof
repair, among other needs.
Th ough the organization’s format and programming have changed, the goal
of serving the community was baked in from the start: “What I can tell you
is not going to change is the need will
still be there,” Golden Slipper Club
& Charities Board President Dave
Simon said. “Where the need is in the
Jewish community and the greater
community, Golden Slipper is there.”
hristopher Lawrence doesn’t remember the fi rst Golden Slipper Gems
event he attended four years ago, but he does remember the company
he kept.
“Th ere’s a very coherent group of folks here, a regular group of folks who’ve
been going there for years,” Lawrence
said. “So it was just very nice to meet
in that context and to get to know
each other.”
