Cooking Steps
Pat salmon* dry with paper towels and season all over with salt and pepper.
Heat a drizzle of oil in a large, preferably nonstick, pan over medium-high heat. Add salmon to pan (skin sides down) and cook until skin is crisp, 5-7 minutes.
Flip and cook until cooked through, 1-2 minutes more. TIP: While salmon cooks, move on to the rest of the recipe.
Once cooked, remove skin and discard; transfer salmon to a medium bowl. Using a fork, break salmon into pieces. Stir in chili sauce.
Wash and dry produce.
Roughly chop cilantro. Quarter lime. Trim and quarter cucumber lengthwise into spears.
In a second medium bowl, combine coleslaw mix, cilantro, mayonnaise, Sriracha, a squeeze of lime juice (big squeeze for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. TIP: For a brighter flavor, add more lime.
Halve and toast baguettes until golden; fill with salmon and as much spicy slaw as you like.
Divide sandwiches between plates. Serve with cucumber spears and any remaining spicy slaw on the side.
