Ingredients

• 4 pieces (6 oz each) salmon fillets
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons honey
• 2 tablespoons lime juice
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 2 cloves, minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon, grated ginger
• 4 cups, thinly sliced (red or green) cabbage
• 1 cup, shredded carrots
• 1 medium, thinly sliced red bell pepper
• 3 stalks, finely sliced green onions
• 0.25 cup, chopped cilantro
• 3 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
• 1 teaspoon sriracha
• 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, lime juice, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger.

Step 3

Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush the sauce generously over the top of each fillet. Reserve any leftover sauce for later.

Step 4

Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.

Step 5

While the salmon is cooking, prepare the Asian slaw. In a large mixing bowl, combine the sliced cabbage, shredded carrots, bell pepper, green onions, and chopped cilantro.

Step 6

In a separate small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, mayonnaise, sriracha, sesame seeds, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.

Step 7

Pour the dressing over the slaw and toss well to combine. Adjust the seasoning to taste, if needed.

Step 8

Once the salmon is done cooking, remove it from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes.

Step 9

To serve, divide the Asian slaw among four plates and top each with a salmon fillet. Drizzle any remaining sauce over the salmon for extra flavor.

Step 10

Garnish with additional sesame seeds or cilantro, if desired, and serve immediately.
