Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 1 clove garlic, peeled
  • 1 teaspoon peeled and finely chopped fresh ginger
  • 21/2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 4, 5-ounce salmon filets
  • 1/4 cup thinly sliced water chestnuts
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups shredded Napa cabbage
  • 1 avocado, peeled, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch cubes
  • Salt and ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Place soy sauce, garlic, ginger, honey, sesame oil, vinegar, and olive oil in a food processor or blender. Blend until smooth and creamy.
  2. Place salmon filets in a shallow dish and pour half the soy sauce mixture over top; turning filets to coat on all sides. Set aside.
  3. Place water chestnuts, carrot, bell pepper, and cabbage in a medium bowl and toss with remaining soy sauce mixture. Season with salt and pepper. Add avocado and toss to combine. Set aside.
  4. Heat a small amount of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium high heat. Place salmon skin-side up and cook until nicely browned, about 6 minutes. Turn salmon over and cook until it is cooked through, about 6 minutes more.
  5. To serve, plate the salmon and spoon the slaw over each filet.
