Cooking Steps
• Adjust rack to top position and preheat oven to 425 degrees. Wash and dry produce.
• Thinly slice cucumber into rounds. Pick dill fronds and roughly chop. Halve lemon.
• In oven-ready tray, combine cabbage, half the garlic powder, stock concentrate, 1 TBSP butter, ¼ cup water, salt, and pepper (for 4 servings, divide between two trays using 1 TBSP butter and ¼ cup water for each tray). Cover with aluminum foil and bake on top rack (be sure your oven has preheated!) until cabbage is slightly wilted and tender, 20 minutes (for 4, bake trays side by side on top rack).
• Meanwhile, pat salmon* dry with paper towels; season all over with remaining garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Place, skin sides down, on a lightly oiled sheet of foil.
• Once cabbage has braised 20 minutes, remove tray from oven. Place foil with salmon on top of foil of tray with cabbage. Bake on top rack until salmon is cooked through and cabbage is tender, 12-15 minutes. TIP: Be careful, tray will be hot!
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine half the mayonnaise, half the sour cream, half the dill, ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4 servings), and a squeeze of lemon juice (big squeeze for 4); season with salt and pepper.
• Stir in cucumber until coated; place in refrigerator until ready to serve.
• In a small bowl, combine remaining mayonnaise, remaining sour cream, remaining dill, and a squeeze of lemon juice (big squeeze for 4 servings).
• Add water 1 tsp at a time until mixture reaches drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide salmon, braised cabbage, and cucumber salad between plates. Drizzle dill sauce over salmon and serve.

Reviews from our home cooks
Instructions were really confusing. I didn't have aluminum foil on hand so that was annoying. I also don't care for sauces that aren't reductions because it was almost like just pouring salad dressing on the salmon. Next time I'll do a veggie concentrate base and add butter and the sour cream and chives to that, like in other salmon-based recipes. Cabbage came out surprisingly good though and I'm not a huge fan of cabbage. Would have been great to have more as cabbage shrinks by about half when cooked.
The cabbage was a delicious surprise! Loved the dill cucumber salad and the salmon quality was SO good! Great flavor combination.
It was easy and I cooked the fish perfectly with very little stress (rare for me). Cabbage would not be my first choice as a vegetable accompaniment. Asparagus or Broccoli would pair better. Cucumber salad was lovely but I needed twice as much. I ate the whole thing with the first serving. I am only cooking for me, so I had leftovers for breakfast, sans salad.
Loved this meal. Low carb and very easy to prepare! Great quality salmon
This was delicious and easy to make. I would suggest adding more cucumbers. I ended up adding some I had on hand. The cabbage was delicious!
Easy, quick and good tasting. The only things I did not like was there was only one oven pan delivered -and- no temperature and time setting were in the instructions. Having to cook it all in one pan was awkward, too. Adding those settings would/should be an easy fix for you and it would certainly help us novice amateur cooks.
Really surprised that I enjoyed as much as I did. Flavorful. The sauces were on point. Cabbage good too.
It was delicious but I thought the instructions were more complicated than the dish really is. Great meal.
I wasn't sure if I would like the cabbage, but it was good! The whole meal was very tasty.
Easy prep & delicious flavor combination. Loved the braised cabbage!
