Pan-frying the salmon after steaming gives the skin a nice crisp finish while keeping the fish moist. The cabbage side gives you enough flavor and moisture that you don’t need a sauce.
Serves 2
Ingredients
2 x 200g salmon fillets
Salt and pepper to season
500g water
20g olive oil
Sauteed Cabbage and Onion
1 large onion
400g cabbage
2 cloves garlic, minced
Light olive oil for frying
Instructions
1. Season the fish with salt and pepper and then put skin side up on the top tray of the Varoma
2. Put water in the Thermomix bowl, close lid and assemble Varoma on top
3. Steam for 10 minutes/Varoma/Speed 1
4. Check the fish and steam for another 1 to 2 minutes depending on the thickness of the fish
5. Heat oil in a frying pan on medium-high heat and put the fish skin side down into the pan
6. Fry until skin is brown and crispy
For the Vegetables
7. While the salmon is cooking in the Varoma, peel, quarter and cut onion into 0.5cm slices
8. Cut cabbage into 0.5cm slices – about the same length as the onions
9. Heat oil in a large frying pan on medium-high heat. Add onions and garlic and fry for 2 minutes
10. Add in cabbage and fry until the cabbage is soft
Tips
Make it easier to clean up – scrunch up a piece of baking and run under water. Open up and place under the fish – just make sure that all of the holes aren’t covered up.
