Slow-Cooked White Fish with Charred Cabbage recipe
This Slow-Cooked White Fish with Charred Cabbage is a delicious quick meal to make. You can make this with any firm white fish that you prefer. I often use cod or halibut but you can see what your local fish shop has in stock. It’s called slow cooked, but remember that fish cooks quickly so even 15 minutes is slow for fish!
Start making this by placing the fish on a parchment lined baking sheet. While the fish bakes in the oven, prepare the cabbage. Cook the cabbage until it is half charred. I find it is best not to move the cabbage leaves as they cook. Once the cabbage and fish is cooked, peel the grapefruit and remove the pith. Slice into rounds and assemble the dish, starting with cabbage, then grapefruit and topped with fish and garnished with mint and olive oil.

Recipe Reviews
The slices are very thin so it's not too filling on it's own but I liked it.
Never thought of adding fresh mint to fish before but it actually turned out quite good.
The fish came out a bit slimey not sure if I did something wrong or added too much oil but it was still edible, spices were good but going to stick with the fillets since they are easier.
Had mine with potatoes instead of cabbage and some sourcream and cheese, was very flavorful.
My husband and I really enjoyed the taste of this fish with cabbage, couldn't ask for a better dinner.
Delicious and simple meal to make would recommend this slow cooked fish with cabbage for sure.
Satisfied as always when it comes to Bethany's recipes, she has the most affordable and delicious things on the planet!!
Absolutely delicious it's my top one fish dish of all time from this website, I always make it with some cheesy garlic bread as the side dish and white wine.
Didn't add the mint cause I'm not a fan of anything minty including icecream so didn't want to add it to my fish either, but it was perfectly yummy without it, even added some freshly cut tomatoes too.
Perfect for any day of the week, I usually make it every fish Tuesday with some cuban bread and take it to work for lunch :)
So delicious and healthy!
