Stovetop Citrus-Dill Salmon with Red Cabbage & Cucumber Slaw

Light, citrusy, and fast: tender salmon with bright grapefruit + dill, served over a crunchy cabbage-cucumber slaw. No heavy sauces.

Ingredients

  • Fresh Farm Raised Atlantic Salmon Whole Fillet 10–12 oz total (2 portions) $9.99/lb sale (reg $10.99)
  • Organic Red Cabbage 1/2 small head (about 4 packed cups shredded) $1.99/lb
  • Organic Cucumber 1/2 large cucumber, thinly sliced
  • Simple Truth Organic® Baby Dill 2–3 tbsp chopped
  • Del Monte® No Sugar Added Red Grapefruit Jar (or fresh grapefruit if you have) 2–3 tbsp grapefruit segments, chopped + 1 tbsp juice
  • Pantry: olive oil 2 tsp
  • Pantry: vinegar (apple cider or rice) 1 1/2 tbsp
  • Pantry: salt & black pepper to taste
  • Pantry: optional honey 1/2 tsp (optional)

Instructions

  1. Make the slaw: In a bowl toss red cabbage, cucumber, dill, vinegar, 1 tsp olive oil, a pinch of salt and pepper. Add grapefruit juice/segments (and optional 1/2 tsp honey). Let sit while you cook.
  2. Cook salmon (stove): Pat salmon dry, season lightly with salt/pepper. Heat 1 tsp olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium. Cook 3–4 minutes skin-side down (or first side), flip, cook 2–3 minutes more until just opaque.
  3. Finish & serve: Spoon a little grapefruit over the salmon. Serve alongside (or over) the slaw. Adjust salt/acid to taste.

Health notes: Lean, high-protein, high omega-3; lots of fiber from cabbage. Keep oil to 1 tsp per portion for extra lightness.

Drink pairing: Sparkling water with grapefruit/lime; or a dry Sauvignon Blanc.

  2. Quick cucumber salad: In a bowl, toss cucumber with vinegar, a pinch of salt, and optional chili flakes. Set aside to lightly pickle while you cook.
  3. Make glaze: Stir soy sauce, honey, half the ginger, and half the garlic in a small bowl. (Add 1 tsp sesame oil if using.)
  4. Sear salmon (stove): Heat 1 tbsp neutral oil in a nonstick or well-seasoned skillet over medium-high. Place salmon skin-side down (if skin-on) and press gently for 10 seconds. Cook 3–4 minutes until crisp; flip and cook 1–2 minutes more.

  6. Sauté bok choy (stove): In the same pan (wipe out if needed), add 1 tbsp oil. Add remaining ginger/garlic for 15 seconds, then bok choy and a splash of water. Stir-fry/steam 3–5 minutes until tender-crisp. Season to taste (a tiny splash of soy is fine).
  7. Serve: Plate bok choy, top with salmon and any glaze. Add cucumber salad on the side; garnish with Thai basil if you have it.

Health notes: ~600–750 calories per serving (depends on oil/sauce). High omega-3s and protein; lots of micronutrients from bok choy/cucumber. Keep glaze light for lower sugar/sodium.
