SALMON STEAMED WITH SAVOY CABBAGE

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Peel off 6 of the big outer leaves, without holes, from each cabbage; set aside. Core and thinly slice the cabbages. Fill a medium bowl with ice and water; set aside. Blanch the cabbage leaves in boiling water until bright green and flexible, about 1 minute; plunge into the ice bath. Drain on paper towels. Blanch the remaining sliced cabbage until just tender, about 1 minute. Drain the cabbage; immerse in the ice bath. When cool, drain in a colander; set aside.
• In a small bowl, combine the chicken stock, honey, vinegar, ginger, garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil; set aside. Bring a saucepan of water to a boil. Cook the rice noodles until tender, about 3 minutes. Transfer the noodles to a colander; rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Drain well; transfer to a bowl. Toss with 1/3 cup of the soy mixture; set aside.
• Bring a wok or large skillet of water to a simmer. Season each salmon fillet with salt and pepper. Carefully cut out the stiff stems of the reserved cabbage leaves. Place 2 leaves on a work surface, slightly overlapping. Place a fillet on each leaf. Top with about 1/2 cup sliced cabbage, and roll leaves "burrito" style. Divide the remaining sliced cabbage among the bottom of each level of the bamboo steamer. Place the salmon packages seam side down on the cabbage. Cover the steamer; place in the wok or skillet. Steam until the salmon is just cooked through, 15 to 18 minutes. For the sauce, add the scallions to the remaining soy mixture. Serve the salmon packages and steamed cabbage over the noodles with the sauce.

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.

• 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.
