About me: I love cooking, I love eating, I love discovering new recipes. I have so many cookbooks I sometimes lose track of which recipe is where - though this site helps a bit. I have gone low-carb in 2010, so that's different recipes to explore again. This also means I may not agree with my own reviews anymore if they were written in 2009 or before. ------------------ I have a lovely husband and ten-year old twins who also love eating. ----------------- You can also find me on LibraryThing, BookMooch and EatYourBooks, using the same handle.

Good combination, well executed.

The amount given is as a side salad, as a main dish you could double it.

I might add red onion or hardboiled eggs, although it does get very close to a salade Niçoise that way.

Not much of a recipe really, and not one of those combinations that are so brilliant you'll forgive it not really being a recipe. Maybe next time (if there is one) I'll bake the ricotta.

I guess I now know why I couldn't find any other recipes with the combination salmon/cabbage. There is no synergy at all between the salmon and the other ingredients.

It might be better when the salmon is poached for a shorter time so it stays moister, or when using sauerkraut instead of cabbage, but I don't think I am going to bother.

Not bad, not very good either.
I felt something was missing, but I couldn't decide whether it would improved most with lemon or with cream.
