Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon fillet (skin-on, about 1.5-inch thick)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 4 slices bacon
- 0.5 cup fresh dill
- 1 large lemon
- 2 cloves garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup chicken or vegetable stock
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 275°F (135°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pat the salmon fillet dry with paper towels, then rub with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Place the salmon skin-side down on the prepared baking sheet.
Roast the salmon in the oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the flesh flakes easily with a fork and reaches an internal temperature of 120-125°F (49-52°C) for medium-rare.
While the salmon roasts, prepare the cabbage and bacon. Slice the cabbage into thin shreds and set aside. Dice the bacon into small pieces.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the diced bacon and cook until crispy, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the bacon drippings. Add the shredded cabbage and season with the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Stir occasionally and sauté until the cabbage is tender and slightly caramelized, about 10 minutes.
Add the minced garlic cloves and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant. Stir in the chicken or vegetable stock and 2 tablespoons of butter. Cook for another 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Remove the skillet from heat and stir in the crispy bacon and chopped fresh dill.
When the salmon is done roasting, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes.
To serve, divide the cabbage mixture among four plates. Flake the salmon into large pieces and place on top of the cabbage. Garnish with additional fresh dill and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the dish.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Slow Roasted Salmon with Cabbage Bacon Dill!
