The romantic cabbage
Our food and cooking columnist in Calgary, Cinda Chavich, recommends cabbage as the perfect Valentine's Day food.
SALMON WITH SWEET AND SPICY CHINESE CABBAGE
You can also steam some basmati rice to serve alongside this simple salmon dish.
2 skinless salmon fillets, each about 5 ounces and 1 inch thick
2 tablespoons oyster sauce
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon brown sugar or honey
1 clove garlic, finely minced
1 teaspoon lime juice
toasted sesame seeds
Cabbage Salad:
3 cups shredded cabbage (use Chinese or Napa cabbage)
¾ cup shredded carrots
1 small red bell pepper, seeded and slivered
2 green onions, sliced
1 teaspoon shredded fresh ginger
¼ cup olive oil
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
1 tablespoon lime juice
1 tablespoon white sugar
1-3 teaspoons sweet red Thai chili sauce or Chinese garlic chili paste (to taste)
salt and pepper to taste
Whisk together the oyster sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, minced garlic and lime juice. Pour over salmon fillets and marinate for 15 minutes. Remove fish from marinade, reserving marinade.
For the salad, in a mixing bowl, combine the cabbage, carrots, bell pepper and green onions and toss. Whisk together the remaining ingredients. Pour dressing over mixed vegetables and toss again. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
Meanwhile, bake the salmon. Set fillets baking sheet that's been lined with foil or parchment. Brush with a little reserved marinade. Bake in a preheated 450F oven until just cooked through, about 10 minutes for a 1-inch piece, just until fish begins to flake. Remove from oven and let rest 2 minutes.
Arrange some cabbage salad in the centre of two plates. Top with salmon. Sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serves two.
