Salmon With Dill Carrots And Cabbage Recipes

SLOW-ROASTED SALMON WITH CABBAGE, BACON & DILL

Steps:

• Halve the cabbage lengthwise, cut out the core, then remove the leaves and slice them into 2-1/2-inch squares.
• Preheat the oven to 250°F.
• Place the bacon in a medium sauce pot over medium heat. Render the bacon until cooked but not crispy.
• You should have approximately 2 ounces (4 tablespoons) fat; if you have more, discard the excess.
• Add the onion and sauté for 1 minute.
• Add the cabbage and water and let simmer uncovered until the cabbage is tender, about 15 minutes.
• If all the water evaporates during cooking, add more as needed until the cabbage is very tender.
• Meanwhile, place the salmon fillets on a nonstick sheet pan.
• Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over each fillet.
• Season with salt, pepper, and half the dill. Top each fillet with a teaspoon of butter and place in the oven.
• Cook 15 to 18 minutes for medium rare, 21 to 24 minutes for medium (depending on the thickness of the fish), and if you cook it any longer than that, I can't be held responsible.
• When the cabbage is meltingly soft and tender, season with salt, pepper, and the rest of the dill.
• Keep warm while the salmon finishes cooking.
• Remove the salmon from the oven and drizzle with the lemon juice.
• To serve:.
• Divide the cabbage between four dinner plates, top with the salmon fillets, and drizzle a little more olive oil over the fish.
• Season with freshly ground pepper, sprinkled on and around the fish.
• Garnish with additional fresh dill, if desired, and serve.

GLAZED SALMON WITH SPICED CARROTS

Steps:

• Preheat the broiler. Lightly oil the broiler pan. Toss the carrots with 1 tablespoon olive oil in a bowl, then spread out on one side of the pan. Broil until the carrots begin to soften, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk 2 tablespoons olive oil, the honey, mustard and 1 tablespoon lime juice in a small bowl. Brush the tops and sides of the salmon with the glaze. Put the salmon, skin-side down, on the other side of the broiler pan next to the carrots and season with salt and pepper. Broil until the salmon is golden brown and just cooked through and the carrots are crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon each olive oil and lime juice, the coriander, cumin, cinnamon, mint and almonds in a bowl. Add the carrots and toss to combine; season with salt and pepper. Serve the salmon with the carrots and lime wedges.

CHIVE-CORIANDER SALMON AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Put the potatoes in a pot and cover with cold water; season with salt. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 20 minutes; drain and return to the pot. Stir in the butter, 1/2 tablespoon chives, and salt and pepper to taste; cover to keep warm.
• Rinse the salmon under cold water; pat dry. Brush with 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon, skin-side down; cook, shaking the skillet occasionally, until the skin is crisp, 5 minutes. Flip the salmon; continue cooking, flipping occasionally and sprinkling with the coriander and the remaining chives, until just opaque, about 7 more minutes. Remove from the skillet.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, the cabbage and tarragon to the skillet. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring, until the cabbage is wilted, 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the salmon with the cabbage and potatoes.
