Witled lettuce season

I have long maintained that the best gluten free recipes are those that do not have flour in them in the first place. With summer veg and lots of fresh fruits around there are plenty of ways to cook without touching the pantry.
This week a had a head of fresh romaine lettuce and some time ago we had tried a recipe from Ramsey's book that wilted the lettuce then served with salmon on top. Ramsey of course had his nicely molded into a circle.
So my version:

Chop one shallot and a clove of garlic;
Soften in pan with a tbls of olive oil;
In another pan - cook the salmon in another tablespoon olive oil;

Add the full head of coarsely chopped/torn lettuce to the shalot mix and turn until warm and softened. The mass also reduces considerably.

Turn the now wilted lettuce onto a plate, top with the salmon.
I served mine with a few little boiled potatoes.

Simple and totally gluten free!
