Slaw
Directions
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, grated ginger, Ginger & Black Garlic Olive Oil, and Thai Lemongrass Mint Balsamic. Set aside the dressing.
Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish or resealable plastic bag and pour half of the marinade over them. Reserve the other half for the slaw. Marinate the salmon in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or up to 2 hours, turning occasionally.
In a large bowl, combine the cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, cilantro, and green onions. Pour the remaining marinade over the slaw and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Remove the salmon from the marinade and discard the excess marinade. Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Divide the slaw among serving plates. Top each plate with a cooked salmon fillet. If desired, sprinkle sesame seeds over the salmon for garnish. Serve immediately and enjoy!
This is the perfect spring/ summer meal; so easy and fresh and a great way to incorporate a bunch of flavour through a simple oil and vinegar pairing. Love it!
It looks so colorful and delicious , can wait to try it!
