Cut cabbage, fennel, and leek/onion into very thin slices and wash.
Melt 1 Tbsp butter in a large skillet. Add vegetables and sprinkle with 1/2 tsp salt. Cover the pan and cook gently for 10 minutes. Check after 5 minutes to make sure there's a little moisture so that the vegetables steam and don't brown. Meanwhile, simmer the lemon juice in a small skillet until only one Tablespoon remains. Remove from heat and whisk in the remaining butter.
Finely chop the lemon zest with the parsley (or chervil). Stir half into the butter and add the other half to the vegetables. Toss well, taste for salt, and season with pepper.
