Cabbage-Wrapped Salmon Parcels with Dill Sauce

Ingredients

- 4 salmon fillets

- 1 small cabbage

- 1 lemon

- 2 tablespoons olive oil

- Salt and pepper, to taste

- Fresh dill, chopped

- 1 cup chicken broth

- 1/2 cup sour cream

Instructions

To start, preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare your salmon fillets by seasoning them with salt, pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. Now, it's time to get creative with the cabbage! Gently peel off the cabbage leaves, making sure they are intact and pliable enough to wrap around the salmon fillets.

Next, heat some olive oil in a pan and sear the seasoned salmon fillets on both sides until they are slightly golden. This will help to lock in the flavors and juices. While the salmon is cooking, gently blanch the cabbage leaves in boiling water for a few minutes until they are soft and pliable.

Once the salmon fillets and cabbage leaves are ready, carefully wrap each fillet in a cabbage leaf, creating neat parcels. Place the parcels in a baking dish and pour in the chicken broth to keep everything moist and tender. Pop the dish into the oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.

While the parcels are baking, it's time to whip up the dill sauce. Simply mix together some sour cream, chopped dill, and a squeeze of lemon juice in a small bowl. This creamy and herby sauce will complement the flavors of the salmon beautifully.

Once the salmon parcels are done, serve them up hot with a generous drizzle of the dill sauce on top. Your guests will be amazed by the exquisite presentation and the delicious flavors of this dish.
