14 - 1 cup shredded carrots
15 - 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
16 - 2 spring onions, thinly sliced

22 - 1 tablespoon sesame oil
23 - 1 tablespoon lime juice
24 - 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
25 - 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

# Directions:

01 - Combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat. For a thicker glaze, stir cornstarch mixed with water into the sauce until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and cool briefly.
02 - Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish. Pour half of the teriyaki glaze over them and marinate for 10 to 15 minutes, reserving the remaining glaze for serving.
03 - Preheat the oven to 400°F or prepare a grill. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly oil the grill surface.
04 - Arrange salmon fillets on the prepared tray or grill. Bake or grill for 10 to 12 minutes until cooked through and glazed, basting once halfway with extra marinade. Discard leftover marinade used during marination.
05 - In a large bowl, combine Napa cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, spring onions, cilantro, and peanuts.
06 - Whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, lime juice, ginger, and chili flakes in a small bowl. Pour over the slaw and toss well to coat evenly.
07 - Divide Asian slaw amongst serving bowls. Top each with a teriyaki salmon fillet. Drizzle with reserved teriyaki glaze and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced spring onions.
