Salmon with Bacon Corn and Cabbage
 
 
Ingredients
  • Ingredients:
  • 4 salmon fillets, 6 ounces each
  • Kosher salt and ground black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 5 ounces slab bacon, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • ¾ cup thinly sliced spring onions
  • Corn sliced from 2 ears (About 1½ cups kernels)
  • ½ small green cabbage, cored, thinly sliced lengthwise
  • 1 teaspoon white wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons chopped parsley
Instructions
  1. To prepare the salmon, generously sprinkle kosher salt on the skin of the salmon fillets and let rest at room temperature for 5 to 10 minutes (this draws out excess moisture from the skin). Pat the skin dry with paper towel then season with black pepper.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and the salmon fillets, skin side down, and cook for 6 minutes. Do not move or flip the salmon at this time; this will get the skin very crisp. Flip salmon and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove salmon from the heat.
  3. To prepare the Bacon, Corn and Cabbage, heat a large skillet over medium heat for 1 minute. Add the bacon and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often, until tender and lightly crisped. Using a slotted spoon, transfer bacon to a paper-towel lined plate, leaving the fat in the pan.
  4. Swirl in the butter, and when it foams, add the spring onions, ½ teaspoon salt and a pinch of pepper. Cook over medium heat, about 3 minutes, then add the corn and continue cooking another 3 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the cabbage and cook 2 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage just wilts. Add the vinegar and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. To serve, place a generous mound of the corn and cabbage mixture in the center of 4 plates. Garnish with reserved cooked bacon and chopped parsley, then top each mound with one cooked salmon fillet.
