Thayer in the Kitchen

This is a recipe that I tried for the first time last night.  Arthur really liked it.  I served it with mashed potatoes--one of his favorite foods.  We were lucky enough to get a Sweetheart Cabbage from our CSA farm--Driftless Organics.  I've never seen this variety of cabbage for sale in the grocery store.  You could probably find it at a farmers' market. Sweetheart, Pointed , hispi, hearted or  sweetheart cabbage  as it is sometimes known is a type of green  cabbage  with green leaves and a  pointed  head. The leaves are more open than those of a green  cabbage  and they have a softer texture and sweeter taste.  If unavailable I'm sure you could use standard cabbage instead.   We were only making dinner for 2 people so I didn't use as much as the recipe called for although Arthur said he wished we had had more cabbage! 1/2# of salmon--I used 2 pieces of Keta Salmon from our Sitka Salmon Shares.  The recipe said to skin the salmon which is not necessary.
