12 - 2 cups shredded napa cabbage
13 - 1 cup shredded red cabbage
14 - 1 cup shredded carrots
15 - 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
16 - 2 spring onions, thinly sliced
17 - 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, chopped
18 - 1/4 cup roasted peanuts, roughly chopped

→ Slaw Dressing

19 - 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
20 - 1 tablespoon soy sauce
21 - 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
22 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
23 - 1 tablespoon lime juice
24 - 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
25 - 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

# Steps:

01 - Combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat. For thicker glaze, mix cornstarch with water, stir into sauce, and cook until slightly thickened. Remove and cool briefly.
02 - Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish. Pour half the glaze over them, reserving the rest for serving. Marinate 10 to 15 minutes.
03 - Preheat oven to 400°F or prepare grill. Line baking tray with parchment or lightly oil grill grates.
04 - Arrange salmon on tray or grill. Bake or grill 10 to 12 minutes until cooked through and glazed, basting with extra marinade halfway. Discard marinade used for marinating.
05 - In a large bowl, combine napa cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, red bell pepper, spring onions, cilantro, and peanuts.
06 - Whisk rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, lime juice, ginger, and chili flakes in a small jar or bowl. Toss with slaw vegetables until well coated.
07 - Divide slaw into bowls. Top each with a salmon fillet. Drizzle reserved teriyaki glaze and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced spring onions.

# Helpful Hints:

01 -
  • Vibrant and nutritious meal in one bowl
  • Customizable protein and slaw options for dietary needs
02 -
  • You can substitute salmon with tofu or chicken for a different protein.
  • Omit peanuts if allergic or replace with toasted pumpkin seeds for crunch.
03 -
  • For extra crunch, add sliced snap peas or edamame to the slaw.
  • Marinate the salmon for at least 10 minutes for best flavor, but no longer than 30 minutes to prevent mushiness.
