Instructions
- Make the Teriyaki Glaze:
- In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over medium heat. For a thicker glaze, mix cornstarch with water and add to the pan, stirring until slightly thickened. Let cool briefly.
- Marinate Salmon:
- Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish. Pour half of the teriyaki glaze over the salmon, reserving the rest. Marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Cook Salmon:
- Preheat oven to 200°C (400°F) or preheat grill. Line a baking tray with parchment or lightly oil grill. Place salmon fillets on tray or grill and cook for 10 to 12 minutes until just cooked and glazed, basting with extra marinade halfway. Discard leftover marinade used for marinating.
- Prepare Slaw:
- While salmon cooks, combine napa cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, spring onions, cilantro, and peanuts in a large bowl.
- Make Slaw Dressing:
- In a jar or bowl, whisk together all slaw dressing ingredients. Pour over the slaw and toss to coat evenly.
- Assemble Bowls:
- Divide Asian slaw among serving bowls. Top each with a teriyaki salmon fillet, drizzle with reserved glaze, and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced spring onions.
