ROASTED SALMON WITH TOASTED SESAME SLAW

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Arrange salmon on a rimmed baking sheet. Rub with 1 tablespoon of the oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast until opaque and medium throughout, about 10 minutes.

PERFECTLY COOKED SALMON WITH 2 FRUIT SLAW

Steps:

• To make cashew cheese, in a medium bowl, combine the cashews with 1 cup of water and allow to soak for 2 hours. Drain and add cashews to a blender with goats cheese and coconut milk. Blitz until smooth, set aside.
• Preheat oven to 375 F, or 190°C Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread beets on top evenly. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil, season with salt and scatter thyme over. Roast for 35-40 minutes or until tender. Keep oven on for salmon.
• In a medium bowl, combine the kumquats, pomegranate seeds and cabbage. In a medium saute pan over low heat, toast the pepitas (without oil) for 3-4 minutes or until they start to toast and have a nutty aroma. Let cool slightly, then add into the cabbage bowl. Drizzle in 1 tablespoon olive oil, season to taste with salt and set aside.
• Season the salmon filets with salt. Heat a medium non-stick oven safe frying pan over medium high heat. Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a pan and cook the salmon, skin side down, on medium-high heat for 3-4 minutes or until skin is crispy. Turn salmon over and transfer to the oven to finish cooking for a further 3 minutes until salmon is cooked through.
• To serve, smear a dollop of the cashew cheese on the plate then place 4 beet pieces among the cheese before topping with a spoonful of the slaw. Plate the salmon and finish with a squeeze of lemon and chopped parsley.

FRUIT SLAW

Steps:

• Julienne pineapple, honeydew, galia melon, grapes, and strawberries.
• Combine fruit in a large bowl and squeeze lemon and lime juice on top, making sure citrus seeds don't get added. Toss gently until well blended. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

MISO-SRIRACHA GLAZED SALMON WITH SPICY SLAW

Steps:

• For the Salmon: Preheat the broiler.
• In a small nonreactive bowl, combine the sesame oil, brown sugar, soy sauce, miso, Sriracha and garlic.
• Line a rimmed baking pan with foil (this will make clean-up much easier later on) and spray with cooking spray or lightly grease with oil. Place the salmon on the foil and brush some of the glaze over the salmon, enough to evenly cover the surface.
• Broil 6 inches from the flame, basting the salmon twice with more glaze. Broil until the salmon flakes easily at the center of the fillet, 9-10 minutes. Don't be alarmed if you see some smoke. That's what the soy sauce does when it's caramelizing.
• Remove salmon from baking pan and transfer fillets to plates. Garnish with green onion and serve with Spicy Slaw.
• For the Slaw: First, make the dressing. In a medium bowl, combine the peanut butter, lime juice, pineapple juice, Sriracha, garlic, fish sauce, ginger and sugar. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
• Next, make the slaw. In a large bowl, mix together the napa and red cabbages, carrots, bell peppers, jalapeno, green onions, cilantro and mint.
• Add the dressing and toss to mix. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
