Description

10 ingredients, one pot, less than an hour from start to finish. A perfect dish to add to the rotation.

Ingredients

• 1/2 green cabbage, stem trimmed and cut into 1 inch thick slices

• 1 lb center cut salmon filet, skin on

• 2–3 tablespoons toasted sesame oil

• 1 bunch green onions, sliced with the whites and greens separated

• 3 cloves garlic, roughly chopped

• 1/4 cup coconut sugar

• 1 cup sake

• 1/3 cup Asian BBQ sauce (we like Woodinville Sauce Co. Asian Q)

• 1/4 cup rice vinegar

• Olive oil

Instructions

1. In a hot pan, add a couple tablespoons of olive oil, then the cabbage. Sear until charred and caramelized, then flip and repeat on the second side. Remove from pan.

2. Add a few more tablespoons of olive oil, then the salmon skin side down. Sear until crisp and bubbly, then flip and sear until golden on the second side. Remove from pan.

3. Add the sesame oil along with the garlic and white parts of the onion. Sauté until fragrant, 1–2 minutes. Add the sugar and cook until beginning to melt, stirring constantly, 2–3 minutes. Turn the heat down to low, add the sake and deglaze. Return the heat to medium-high and add the rest of the liquid ingredients. Simmer 2–3 minutes.

4. Add the cabbage back to the pan and let cook a few minutes until just beginning to soften. Make a hole in the center, then add the salmon. Spoon some of the sauce over the fish, and continue cooking until the salmon is medium-firm and the sauce begins to thicken. Sprinkle with the green part of the onion and serve as-is or over your favorite cooked grain.
