Instructions

  1. 1

    Adjust oven rack to upper-middle position and heat oven to 500℉. Cut cabbage half through core into 2 pieces, then cut each piece through core into 2 wedges for a total of 4 wedges. Leave core intact. Arrange wedges, 1 flat side down, on 1 side of rimmed baking sheet, leaving other half of sheet empty.

  2. 2

    In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine 3 tablespoons oil with smoked paprika and heat until fragrant, 30 seconds. Vigorously whisk to combine well, then use a pastry brush to brush half of oil mixture on exposed cut sides of wedges and sprinkle evenly with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Flip wedges so oiled sides are now down. Brush second cut sides with remaining oil mixture and sprinkle with pepper and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover sheet tightly with aluminum foil and roast for 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    While cabbage is roasting, in a medium bowl, toss mushrooms with 1 tablespoon oil, ground fennel seed, and 1/2 teaspoon salt until evenly coated.

  4. 4

    Once cabbage has cooked for 15 minutes, remove baking sheet with cabbage from oven and reduce oven temperature to 450℉. Carefully uncover and discard foil and flip cabbage wedges.

  5. 5

    Remove baking sheet from oven and using a spatula, gently push mushrooms aside and place salmon fillets directly onto sheet pan, on opposite side of cabbage. Redistribute mushrooms around the salmon and cabbage, ensuring mushrooms have contact with pan.

  6. 6

    Using a fork, whisk lime zest and lime juice into prepared oil mixture to combine, then brush oil mixture all over salmon fillets.

  7. 7

    Cook until salmon registers 115 to 130°F (46 to 55°C) for medium-rare to medium, and mushrooms and cabbage are cooked through, 8 to 12 minutes. Sprinkle with chopped parsley or cilantro, if desired.

  8. 8

    Pastry brush, aluminum foil

    This recipe can easily be halved to serve two or doubled to serve eight. If you do double the recipe, I recommend cooking the cabbage and mushrooms on one pan and the salmon on a second pan with the salmon going on a lower rack in the oven.
