Fried Salmon with oven Potato, Thyme sauce and Pizza salad

This one i made couple days ago. Here in Sweden, you always get this delicious Pizza salad in all the pizzerias when you order pizza. It's really simple and delicious, so i decided to make it as a side dish with this fried Salmon. They worked well together! The buttery thyme sauce goes well with fish too. Here is a recipe for this dish:

You need:

• Oven potatoes (2 big ones for two portions)
• Fresh salmon files
• One lime
• Fresh Thyme
• Fresh Cabbage
• Butter
• Cream
• Flours
• Salt & Pepper
• White vinegar
• Olive Oil
• Sugar or Honey
• Lemon pepper ( I used Santamaria Lime&Peppermix)

First wash the potatoes and roll them in the folio and let it cook in the owen in 225 degrees for about 1 hour. Don't start cooking the fish untill the potatoes are about to be ready, because the fish and the sauce takes only a short time to cook.

Then make the cabbage salad. Boil some water on a tea boiler. Grade or cut the cabbage in thin slices and wash the slices well. Put a big bowl under the strainer and the cabbage on top the bowl. Pour the boiled water on top of the cabbage, so that it strains into the bowl under it. Pour the hot water again on top of the cabbage so that it goes a bit soft. Then run cold water thru the cabbage so that it cools down. Pour it to a bowl, add some salt and pepper, white vinegar, olive oil and sugar or honey (i used honey). Mix it well and taste that it has enough vinegar and spices. Put the cabbage salad covered in the fridge and let it spice up there for an hour or so too. This salad is even better, if it has been standing in the fridge for a day.

Prepare the fish. I bought ready cutted files, without the skin. Just added some salt and peppe, fresh thyme and lime pepper on top of the fish. Squeeze some fresh lime juice on top just before you start cooking it. Add a good piece of butter in the pan and fry the fish from both sides that it comes nice and golden brown. Use a spoon to scoop the butter on top of the fish while you are frying it. Put the fish on a plate and cover it with a lit.

Make the sauce. Add some butter (about 60 grams)  in a sauce pot, let it melt, then add some freshly cutted  thyme in it. Add about 1 tablespoon of flours, keep the heat low. Mix the flours well on the butter and when it's all mixed add just a half or one dl water and then about 1 dl cream. Mix and let it come to little boil. Add more cream if it's too thick. Add some salt and pepper and taste that it has enough flavour.

Serve the fish with oven potato, pizza salad and the buttery thyme sauce and enjoy. Simple and so good!
