Chive Coriander Salmon And Cabbage Food

BOILED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Scatter the bacon in a large Dutch oven and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Remove all but about 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat from the pot and add 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter has melted, add the broth, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper. Simmer for about 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
• Add the cabbage, bring the liquid back to a simmer over low heat and cover the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is very tender, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, if needed. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a microwave or a small pot and drizzle over the cabbage. Just before serving, top with the reserved bacon.

SALMON WITH DILL CARROTS AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the carrots and cabbage and cook until tender, 6 to 7 minutes. Drain and return to the pot. Add the butter and stir until melted; season with salt and pepper. Cover to keep warm and set aside. Meanwhile, mix the sour cream, mustard and vinegar in a small bowl; set aside.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper; add to the skillet, skin-side down, and cook until the skin is golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. Flip and cook until just cooked through, 1 to 2 more minutes.
• Stir the dill into the vegetable mixture. Serve with the salmon, mustard sour cream and lemon wedges.

BEET AND CABBAGE BORSCHT

Steps:

• Place the chicken stock, wine, cabbage, beets and onion in a large pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer until vegetables are tender, for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the vinegar, cumin, salt and pepper. (This can be prepared ahead, cooled, covered and set aside at cool room temperature for several hours or refrigerated for several days.) To serve, remove from the refrigerator for about 30 minutes before serving if presenting chilled. Simmer over medium-high heat to reheat if presenting warm. Ladle into 4 soup bowls. Spoon on a generous dollop of yogurt. Serve immediately.

CHARRED CHILLI SALMON WITH CABBAGE SALAD

Steps:

• First, make the marinade. Mix all the ingredients in a bowl with a pinch of salt. Lay the salmon, skin-side down, in a large container, then pour on the marinade and turn the fish to fully coat it. Cover and chill for at least 1 hr, or up to 12 hrs.
• Heat the oven to 240C/220C fan/gas 9, or as high as it will go. Line the base of a sturdy, shallow roasting tin with baking parchment, then drizzle over the oil. Lay the marinated salmon skin-side down on the parchment and roast for 25-30 mins until the outside is lightly charred and the inside is just cooked. Meanwhile, for the salad, tip the cabbage, red onion and chilli into a bowl, sprinkle with sea salt and scrunch the veg with your hands to work in the salt. Stir in the lemon juice and set aside while the salmon is roasting.
• Just before serving, stir the cucumber slices and coriander into the cabbage salad. Bring the whole salmon to the table with a few lemon slices on top to serve, then carve and plate up with the salad and rice on the side, if you like.

CHIVE BAKED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Place salmon in a shallow, greased baking dish.
• Combine cream cheese, tomatoes, mushrooms, chives, parsley, salt and pepper.
• Top salmon with cream cheese mixture and bake uncovered 12-15 minutes or until the fish flakes easily.
• Garnish and serve.

GRILLED CHILLI & CORIANDER SALMON WITH GINGER RICE

Steps:

• Heat 1 tbsp oil in a pan and put the kettle on to boil. Fry the onion for a few mins until lightly browned. Stir in the ginger and garlic, fry for 1 min, then stir in the rice. Add 300ml boiling water and a little salt, then bring to the boil. Cover and cook for 10-12 mins until the rice is tender. Heat grill to medium.
• Brush a baking tray lightly with a little oil. Put the salmon on top and grill for 4-5 mins, then scatter with chilli, coriander, remaining olive oil and seasoning. Grill again for just 4-5 mins until the salmon is cooked through. Serve with the rice and lime halves for squeezing over.
