Chinese cabbage with salmon

I cooked this dish when we were in Iceland for New Year's Eve. I cooked it for dinner, so it was pitch black outside when I cooked, and the lighting in the kitchen wasn't quite optimal for photos - but very typical for an Icelandic summer cottage.


Ingredients for 2 people

1 Chinese cabbage
1 large onion
1 Tbsp oil
1 lemon
1 Tbsp mustard
200 g pure Skyr
300 g smoked salmon
1 tsp curry powder
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tsp fresh coriander


Preparation

Wash and clean the cabbage and cut it into thin strips.

Peel, halve and dice the onion.

Heat the oil in a large pot.

Fry the onion.

Add the chopped cabbage to the pot and fry briefly.

Squeeze the lemon and mix the juice with the mustard and skyr...

...and then put it in the pot. Simmer over low heat for about 5 minutes.

Now cut the salmon into fine strips and add them to the pot.

Add the salmon to the pot along with the curry powder and some salt and pepper and simmer for another 5 minutes over low heat.

Pluck the coriander and cut it into small pieces...

...and put it in the cooking pot.

Stir well and simmer for another 5 minutes.

Then enjoy straight away - I dressed it up with some fresh coriander and fresh smoked salmon and served it with baguette.
