Slow-roasted Salmon With Melted Cabbage

Total Time: 25 mins Preparation Time: 5 mins Cook Time: 20 mins

Ingredients

• Servings: 4
• 5 slices bacon, chopped
• 1/2 cup onion, finely diced
• 1 head napa cabbage, cored and medium-slices
• 1/2 cup water
• 24 ounces salmon, 4-6ounce fillets
• 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
• 1 teaspoon fresh dill
• 4 tablespoons olive oil
• 1/4 cup carrot, small dice
• 1 lemon
• 2 tablespoons sour cream (soy works)
• salt
• pepper

Recipe

• 1 pre-heat oven to 250°f.
• 2 in a large skillet, render the bacon (no higher than medium heat) until bacon crisps and fat remains light in color. remove bacon, keeping fat in pan.
• 3 add the onion and sauté for a minute. add the cabbage and water. cook until tender.
• 4 while cabbage is cooking, place the slmon on a non-stick cookie sheet. drizzle with the oil and sprinkle with the herbs. season with salt and pepper. bake to desired doneness--i like 12 minutes for about medium and this is about how long the cabbage takes.
• 5 when cabbage is soft, add the carrots and season. carrots will soften and brighten in about 2 minutes.
• 6 when fish is done, squeeze the lemon over it. when cabbage is ready, stir in the sour cream. no sauce needed, but i sometimes use a spicy carrot reduction to fancy it up!
