• Place each salmon fillet on a piece of plastic wrap, sprinkle each fillet on all but skin side with spice mixture, wrap each tightly, place on plate and refrigerate for four hours.

Add more butter if desired.

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.

SEARED SALMON WITH SAVOY CABBAGE AND LENTILS

Steps:

• Put the lentils, carrots, garlic, and bay leaf in a medium saucepan; cover with cold water by 4 inches. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, stirring occasionally, until the lentils are tender, about 15 minutes. Drain; return the mixture to the pan. Add 1 teaspoon salt; season with pepper. Stir in 1 tablespoon oil; cover to keep warm.
• Cook the bacon in a medium skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp. Drain on paper towels. Reserve the fat; wipe the skillet clean. Add the bacon to the lentil mixture.
• Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat; add the leek. Cook, stirring, until softened, about 8 minutes. Stir in the cabbage and a pinch of salt. Add 1/4 cup water. Cover; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is just tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm.
• Stir together the mustard and 1 tablespoon oil in a shallow dish. Season the fillets with salt and pepper. Place the fillets in the dish to coat the skins with the mustard mixture.
• Add 1 tablespoon reserved bacon fat to the reserved skillet; heat over medium-high heat. In batches, if necessary (allow 1 inch between fillets), cook the fillets, skin sides down, until the skins are browned and very crisp, about 4 minutes. Flip; cook 3 minutes more (for medium-rare).
• Add the remaining 2 tablespoons oil to the lentil mixture; stir in the parsley. Divide the lentils and salmon among serving plates. Squeeze the lemon over the cabbage; divide among plates.
