Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 slices bacon, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 1/2 pounds skinless salmon fillet, cut into 4 pieces (lengthwise, then crosswise)
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 medium napa cabbage (about 2 1/2 pounds), halved, cored, and thinly sliced crosswise
3 tablespoons white-wine vinegar

Steps:

  • In a large, deep skillet with a lid, cook bacon over medium until crisp, turning occasionally, 5 to 8 minutes. With a slotted spoon, transfer to a paper-towel-lined plate; set aside. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons fat from skillet.
  • Raise heat to medium-high. Season salmon with salt and pepper. Cook in skillet until browned, 1 to 2 minutes per side (salmon will finish cooking in step 4). Transfer to a plate and reserve.
  • Add as much cabbage to skillet as will fit; add vinegar. Cover skillet, and cook over medium-high, tossing occasionally. Add remaining cabbage as there is room, until tender, 10 to 12 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
  • Stir in bacon, and place salmon on top. Cover skillet; cook until salmon is opaque throughout, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer cabbage and bacon onto four plates, placing salmon on top.
