Cooking Steps

Sizzle
1

• Wash and dry produce. • Pat salmon dry with paper towels; 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. • Transfer salmon to a plate and drizzle with as much sweet soy glaze as you like. TIP: While salmon cooks, move to Step 2!

Zap
2

• Halve, peel, and thinly slice onion. • In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine onion, carrots, vinegar, 1⁄2 tsp sugar(1 tsp for 4 servings), salt, and pepper. Cover with plastic wrap; microwave for 1-2 minutes. • Set aside to pickle, tossing occasionally.

Mix
3

• Remove and discard any large stems from kale; chop into bite-size pieces if desired. • In a large bowl, combine kale, a large drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt. Using your hands, massage kale (similar to how you would knead dough) 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 servings) and as much dressing as you like; toss to combine.

Serve
4

• Divide salad between bowls. Top 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!

Fish is fully cooked when internal temperature reaches 145°.
