To poach salmon, sauté butter, bacon & onion in large skillet until bacon is cooked, not crispy. Add beer, cilantro and orange zest. Add salmon, skin side down and cover for 4 to 5 minutes. Turn salmon and poach for 4 to 5 minutes.

I serve this cabbage with the New Belgium Brewing Sunshine Wheat Salmon. It’s the perfect accompaniment for the salmon.
