Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium heat.
Add the thinly sliced garlic; sauté for 1 minute. Add the kale to the pan along with 2 tablespoons of water.
Cook, stirring often for 2-3 minutes.
Season with fresh ginger, lemon zest, sea salt, and pepper, to taste.
Stir in the lemon juice and toss to coat evenly before spooning the kale into a serving dish.
