Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Four 4-ounce skin-on salmon fillets
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 teaspoons dried herbes de Provence
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Juice of 1/2 lemon
Charred Red Cabbage Salad, recipe follows
1/4 cup canned crispy fried onions
1/4 head red cabbage, stem intact, cut into thick slices
1/2 yellow onion, peeled, root end intact, cut into wedges
3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup your favorite olives, pitted and halved
1 jarred roasted red pepper, julienned
1 orange, supreme (peel cut away and segments cut free from the pith) along with collected juices
1/2 lemon, juiced

Steps:

  • Brush 1 tablespoon Dijon all over the flesh side of each piece of salmon, then sprinkle each with salt, pepper and 1 teaspoon herbes de Provence.
  • Heat a large nonstick pan over medium heat and add the olive oil. Place the salmon in the pan skin-side down and let it sizzle until the skin is golden brown and crispy, 6 to 7 minutes. Gently flip with a fish spatula. Add 1 tablespoon butter to the pan and let the salmon cook until the flesh is golden brown and the internal temperature is 130 degrees F, 2 to 3 minutes more. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon butter and the lemon juice, then remove from the heat. Serve the salmon on top of the Charred Cabbage Salad. Spoon the lemon pan sauce over the salmon and garnish with the crispy onions.
  • Preheat the grill or a grill pan for cooking at high heat.
  • Drizzle the cabbage and onion liberally with olive oil. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the cabbage and onion until the cabbage is slightly wilted and super charred and the onion is soft and charred, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the grill and set aside to cool until cool enough to handle. Remove the stems of the cabbage and roughly chop the cabbage; transfer to a medium bowl. Roughly chop the onion and add to the bowl along with the olives, red pepper, orange segments and juice, lemon juice, olive oil and salt and pepper. Toss to combine and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Simmering a rotisserie bird in water with a handful of aromatics beats boxed chicken stock any day. Plus, the mushroom stems are basically free flavor; add a handful to any pot of simmering stock for an umami boost.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cooked chicken carcass (from a store-bought rotisserie or homemade roast chicken), plus 1 1/2 cups shredded skinless roast chicken meat
8 oz. shiitake mushrooms, stems reserved, caps torn in half
6 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tsp. kosher salt, plus more
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium head of green cabbage (about 1 lb.), cored, sliced into 1/2"-thick ribbons
Freshly ground black pepper
Chili oil (for serving; optional)

Steps:

  • Bring chicken carcass, shiitake stems, garlic, 1 tsp. salt, and 8 cups water to a boil in a large pot, skimming foam from surface as needed. Cover pot and reduce heat to medium. Simmer 15 minutes. Strain broth through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl. Rinse out pot, then pour broth back in.
  • Meanwhile, heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook mushroom caps, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and softened, 7-9 minutes. Transfer mushrooms to a plate; season with salt.
  • Add cabbage to same skillet, press into an even layer, and cook, undisturbed, 2 minutes; season with salt. Turn cabbage with tongs, then continue to cook, undisturbed, until lightly charred and tender in some spots and still crisp in others, about 2 minutes.
  • Add mushrooms, cabbage, and shredded chicken to broth and cook over medium heat just until chicken is warmed through, about 3 minutes. Season soup with salt and pepper. Divide among bowls and drizzle with chili oil if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose a head of cabbage that is firm and heavy for its size.
  • Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, then cut it into wedges.
  • Preheat your grill to medium-high heat.
  • Lightly oil the cabbage wedges and season them with salt and pepper.
  • Grill the cabbage wedges for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are charred and tender.
  • Serve the charred cabbage wedges immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Charred cabbage is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed in many different ways. It is a great way to add some smoky flavor to your next meal. With its simple preparation and endless possibilities for customization, charred cabbage is a must-try for any grilling enthusiast.
