Ingredients

6 slices bacon

1 head savoy cabbage, halved, cored, and roughly chopped

1 onion, diced

1 cup water

4 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons butter

4 salmon fillets, 4–6 ounces each, skin removed

1 teaspoon chopped fresh dill, plus more for garnish

Juice of 1 lemon

Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Preheat your oven to 275°F (135°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
Cook the bacon slices in a large skillet over medium-high heat until crispy, about 8–10 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate, then crumble or chop into bite-sized pieces when cool enough to handle.
In the same skillet, warm the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add the diced onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet along with the water. Stir well to combine. Cook uncovered for about 8–10 minutes, until the cabbage begins to soften and the liquid partially reduces, stirring occasionally.
Spread the cabbage and onion mixture evenly across the prepared baking sheet, creating a bed for the salmon. Scatter the cooked bacon pieces over the cabbage.
Arrange the salmon fillets, skin-side down, on top of the cabbage mixture. Season the salmon lightly with salt and pepper on both sides. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle the fresh dill over each fillet.
Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven and roast for 20–25 minutes, until the salmon reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C) when measured with an instant-read thermometer at the thickest part of the fillet.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Divide the salmon and cabbage mixture among four plates, garnish with additional fresh dill, and serve immediately.

Every ingredient is a staple at any Charlotte grocer, with no special stops required—bacon and salmon are widely stocked even at ALDI and Food Lion. At roughly $3–$4 per serving driven mainly by the salmon, it's an economical fish dish for a weeknight. The stated 55 minutes is honest for slow-roasting, though you'll spend 10–15 minutes prepping cabbage and aromatics, making real hands-on time closer to 20 minutes spread across the cook. It reheats adequately in a low oven, though the salmon loses a touch of tenderness, and it's equally suited to feeding a family as a single plate—no finicky plating required.
