Corned beef and cabbage is a classic for St. Patrick's Day. This dish has roots in Irish-American culture. Many believe it came from Irish immigrants’ use of beef instead of bacon. The salty taste of corned beef pairs well with the crisp cabbage. Cooking it slowly helps the flavors meld together.

Ingredients
  

4 salmon fillets

2 tablespoons Dijon mustard

1 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 small head of green cabbage, finely shredded

1 carrot, grated

2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar

1 tablespoon honey

1/2 teaspoon celery seed

Instructions
 

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

    In a small bowl, mix the Dijon mustard, chopped parsley, dill, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to form a paste.

      Place the salmon fillets on a parchment-lined baking sheet and brush them generously with the herb mustard mixture.

        Drizzle olive oil over the herb-crusted salmon and bake in the preheated oven for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

          While the salmon is baking, prepare the cabbage slaw. In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and grated carrot.

            In a separate small bowl, whisk together the apple cider vinegar, honey, celery seed, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper.

              Pour the dressing over the cabbage and carrot mixture, tossing well to combine. Let it sit for about 5 minutes for flavors to meld.

                Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and serve it alongside the cabbage slaw.
