This updated take on colcannon gets a nutrient boost from kale and substitutes less-starchy cauliflower for some of the traditional white potato. We've used a food processor to create a superfine purée, but you can use a food mill for an even smoother texture. This dish has a fair amount of fat, but most of it comes from the salmon and olive oil, which both contain heart-smart unsaturated fats. The salmon also provides heart protective omega-3 fats.

Cauliflower Colcannon: In large saucepan of boiling water, cook potatoes for 5 minutes. Add cauliflower; cook until potatoes and cauliflower are tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.Meanwhile, in large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tsp of the oil over medium heat; cook garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add leek; cook, stirring, until softened, about 3 minutes. Transfer to plate.
Add remaining oil, kale and 3 tbsp water to pan; cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 5 minutes. Add to leek mixture.
In food processor, pulse together potatoes, cauliflower, sour cream, yogurt, salt and pepper just until smooth. Transfer to bowl; stir in kale mixture. Cover and keep warm.
Sprinkle dill, salt and pepper over both sides of salmon. In nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat; cook salmon, turning once, until fish flakes easily when tested, about 6 minutes. Serve over colcannon with lemon wedges.
