4 salmon fillets
salt and pepper
3 teaspoons olive oil
parsley (to garnish)
1 cup creme fraiche
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons fresh dill (or 1/2 tsp. dried)
1 tablespoon capers, drained
1 teaspoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon prepared horseradish
1 pinch red pepper flakes (optional)
2 tablespoons butter
4 cups napa cabbage, sliced thinly
salt and pepper
4 tablespoons green onions, sliced
2 -3 garlic cloves, minced (or add more if you love garlic)
1 -3 tablespoon water, if needed (or broth)

Steps:

To make sauce:.
Combine creme fraiche, mayonnaise, salt and pepper, dill, capers, lemon juice, horseradish and red pepper flakes, if using. Set aside.
To cook greens:.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium high heat.Stir in the napa cabbage, green onions, and garlic. Saute 5 minutes, then turn down heat to medium, add water or broth and cover. Cook about 5 more minutes, till desirerd tenderness. Keep warm and set aside.
To cook salmon:.
Heat oil in large skillet over medium high heat(I use same pan greens were cooked in or cook in separate skillet while greens are cooking). When hot, add salmon, skin side up(if it has skin on it). Sear until well browned, about 4-6 minutes. Turn the salmon over and sear other side until just cooked through, about 3-5 more minutes.
To serve:.
Divide the cooked napa cabbage evenly on 4 serving plates. Spread out a little to make a "bed". Place salmon on top of greens. Spoon sauce over top of salmon. Garnish with a little parsley or fresh dill, if desired. Enjoy!
