  • 2 tbsp lime juice
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Olive oil for sautéing

For the Rice:

  • 1 cup jasmine rice
  • 2 cups water
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

  • Place the salmon fillets in the iron skillet. Spread the miso butter mixture evenly over each salmon fillet.

  • Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  • In a separate pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped green onions, shallots, diced poblano peppers, salt, and black pepper. Sauté for about 5 minutes, just until the ingredients are slightly softened. Set aside and top with cilantro and lime juice.

  • In the same pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the shredded red cabbage and sauté until it's tender but still has a bit of crunch. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.

  • In a saucepan, combine jasmine rice, water, and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-20 minutes or until the rice is cooked.

  • Once the salmon is done, serve it on a plate with a portion of sautéed red cabbage on top. Spoon the sautéed salsa verde over the salmon. Serve with a side of cooked jasmine rice.

Notes

  • For a crispy skin and enhanced results, preheat the cast iron in the oven before adding the salmon to the skillet.
  • For optimal flavor, let the salmon marinate in the miso butter sauce for 45-60 minutes before cooking.
