Slow Roasted Salmon With Cabbage Bacon Dill Recipes

Steps:

• For the salad: Quarter the cucumber, lengthwise, and remove the seeds, but leave on the skin. Thinly slice the cucumbers and mix with the salt in a colander. Set in the sink for about 1 hour to drain. Meanwhile, place the yogurt in a coffee filter-lined strainer and set over a bowl to drain, about 1 hour.
• Rinse the cucumbers with cold, running water. Press down on the cucumbers to extract as much liquid as possible and pat dry. Toss the cucumbers with the drained yogurt, dill, sugar, orange zest, cayenne, and season with pepper, to taste.
• Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F.
• Cut the salmon lengthwise and then crosswise to make 4 equal squares of fish. Lightly sprinkle the salmon all over with a pinch of turmeric and rub in slightly to coat evenly. Season salmon with salt and pepper and place on a very lightly oiled oven-proof nonstick pan. Roast the salmon, turning the pieces carefully with a spatula after about 10 minutes, until just cooked through, about 20 minutes in all. (Slow-roasted salmon looks bright orange when done, and will be luscious in the center.) To serve, divide the cucumbers between 4 plates, top with the salmon and garnish with dill fronds.

Steps:

• Halve the cabbage lengthwise, cut out the core, then remove the leaves and slice them into 2-1/2-inch squares.
• Preheat the oven to 250°F.
• Place the bacon in a medium sauce pot over medium heat. Render the bacon until cooked but not crispy.
• You should have approximately 2 ounces (4 tablespoons) fat; if you have more, discard the excess.
• Add the onion and sauté for 1 minute.
• Add the cabbage and water and let simmer uncovered until the cabbage is tender, about 15 minutes.
• If all the water evaporates during cooking, add more as needed until the cabbage is very tender.
• Meanwhile, place the salmon fillets on a nonstick sheet pan.
• Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over each fillet.
• Season with salt, pepper, and half the dill. Top each fillet with a teaspoon of butter and place in the oven.
• Cook 15 to 18 minutes for medium rare, 21 to 24 minutes for medium (depending on the thickness of the fish), and if you cook it any longer than that, I can't be held responsible.
• When the cabbage is meltingly soft and tender, season with salt, pepper, and the rest of the dill.
• Keep warm while the salmon finishes cooking.
• Remove the salmon from the oven and drizzle with the lemon juice.
• To serve:.
• Divide the cabbage between four dinner plates, top with the salmon fillets, and drizzle a little more olive oil over the fish.
• Season with freshly ground pepper, sprinkled on and around the fish.
• Garnish with additional fresh dill, if desired, and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease a baking sheet liberally with olive oil.
• Place the salmon fillets onto the baking sheet skin-side-down. Sprinkle the fillets with garlic powder, dill, salt, and pepper. Lay the bacon strips over the fillets to cover completely. Do not overlap the bacon strips.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the salmon is no longer translucent in the center, 20 to 25 minutes. Turn the oven on to broil and cook until the bacon has crisped, 1 to 2 minutes.
