Cooking Steps
• Wash and dry produce. • Pat salmon* dry; season all over with salt and pepper. • Drizzle oil in a hot large pan. Cook salmon, skin sides down, until skin is crisp, 5-7 minutes. Flip; cook until cooked through, 1-2 minutes more. Transfer to a plate and drizzle with as much sweet soy glaze as you like. TIP: While salmon cooks, move to Step 2!
• Thinly slice onion. • In a small microwave-safe bowl, mix onion, shredded carrots, vinegar, ½ tsp sugar (1 tsp for 4), salt, and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap; microwave for 1-2 minutes. • Set aside to pickle, tossing occasionally.
• Remove and discard any large stems from kale; chop if desired. Place in a large bowl; using your hands, massage kale with a large drizzle of olive oil until leaves are tender, 1 minute. • Add coleslaw mix to bowl with kale. Season with salt and pepper. • Add 1 tsp veggie pickling liquid (2 tsp for 4) and as much sesame dressing as you like; toss to combine.
• Top salad with glazed salmon and as many pickled veggies (draining first) as you like. Sprinkle with peanuts and serve. TIP: If you have extra time, toast your peanuts!
Salmon is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.

Reviews from our home cooks
This salad was an absolute surprise as far as the delicious blending of the flavors! We aren't big fans of Kale, but thought we should eat healthier, so gave this a try! It is a huge favorite and the ease of cooking this was amazing! Such a fabulous blend of flavors, crunch, & yumminess!
Absolutely delicious and so easy to prepare. The kale and the salmon and the slaw were a great combination. I could eat any of these items by themselves will definitely be ordering this again.
Crunchy, salty sweet, delicious salad! I'd order this again! It didn't need all that sweet soy salmon glaze with the sesame dressing. Maybe cut back on that and cut the meal calories?
Really good! Love the soy glaze. Just too much kale salad for me to finish and not enough dressing for the salad personally. Also very good with rice.
The salmon, by itself, had awesome flavor. I liked the soy flavor on salad, but the soy glaze "ruined" the flavor of the salmon. All I tasted was super salty
I really liked this one, but I didn't use the sauce on the salmon. It's not needed with the dressing on the salad and the pickled veggies.
The tip to oil and massage the kale made all the difference as none of us liked kale before having this meal.
Perfect for dinner. Easy and fast to make after long day of work, workout, family routine!
LOVED the pickled carrots & onions! Really tasty! Would love the option for organic produce & wild-caught salmon!
Was pleasantly surprised with this meal. Was unsure if I would really like it but decided to try it anyway. My son and I really enjoyed this meal. Might order again.
