The Cabbage Catch, Kid!

Yes, it's Catch...as in Catch of the Day, yes, you guessed it, the other salmon steak! 

Tonight I wanted to do something different with the salmon....the first salmon steak, which is in Salmon to Watch Over Me, a couple of days ago, was good...rather yummy actually, but who wants to eat the same thing twice in one week? Not me, says I!  I started rummaging in the fridge and the following is what resulted...it was actually reallllly good and totally guilt free!


The Cabbage Catch, Kid!

1 large salmon steak ( each person gets half )
1 1/2 c coarsely chopped red cabbage
one apple, skin on, coarsely chopped
small handful sultana raisins
1/4c lemon juice
2 tbsp olive oil
small amount white sugar ( maybe 2 tbsp max ) or agave syrup or stevia
sea salt and black pepper

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a heavy skillet and add the cabbage and the apple...keep it moving over medium heat until all is shiny and the cabbage is less stiff...the apples will pick up the colour and get rosy and you'll start to smell it....add the lemon juice, sugar, raisins and a good grind of sea salt, and keep it moving until it cooks down a bit and is soft....turn the heat way down and let it sit while you do your salmon and steam your veg ( we had asparagus )

Heat the other tbsp of olive oil in another heavy skillet and sear the salmon on both sides...using a fork, remove the skin from both sides of the salmon and split the salmon steak down the middle.  Sear each side of the steak halves and then cover to finish cooking...give it a good grind of sea salt and black pepper

Serve a small pile of the cabbage/apple mixture with the salmon on top and steamed veg on the side...

I hope you enjoy it! I'm going to SLEEP...g'night!!!
