Salmon With Mustard Piccata Sauce

Salmon With Mustard Piccata Sauce
Kerri Brewer for The New York Times. Food Stylist: Cyd Raftus McDowell.

Recipe by Kay Chun | Total time: 30 minutes

Cabbage and salmon are a wonderful pairing, united here by a zippy buttery piccata sauce. This cabbage is roughly chopped, seasoned simply with salt and pepper, and lightly caramelized in a skillet, allowing its natural sweetness to shine through. Salmon is steamed right on top of the cabbage until tender and flaky for an effortless and elegant one-skillet meal. Spiked with English mustard for extra heat (Dijon is a good alternative), the bright and tangy sauce complements both the fish and cabbage and emboldens the entire dish.
