Ingredients

  • 1 salmon fillet about 150–180g
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • ¼ tsp salt
  • ¼ tsp cracked black pepper
  • ½ cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 2 cups kale slaw
  • ½ cucumber thinly sliced
  • ½ cup chickpeas drained and rinsed
  • 1 shallot finely sliced
  • 1 tsp coconut sugar
  • 1 tsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp tamari soy sauce
  • 1 lemon
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger grated
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds

Instructions

  • Start by seasoning the salmon fillet with extra virgin olive oil, a generous pinch of salt, and cracked black pepper. Heat a pan over medium-high heat and place the salmon in to brown the skin. Once the skin is crispy, transfer it to the oven to cook through evenly.
  • While the salmon is cooking, prepare the kale slaw. Toss the kale, shredded red cabbage, carrots, cherry tomatoes, and cucumber together in a large bowl. Add chickpeas for extra texture and nutrition. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and a squeeze of lemon juice to enhance the flavours.
  • To make the zingy ginger sauce, combine finely sliced shallots, coconut sugar, sesame oil, tamari soy sauce, lemon juice, grated ginger, and sesame seeds in a small bowl. Stir well to blend the flavours together.
  • Once the salmon is ready, remove it from the oven and plate it alongside the fresh slaw. Drizzle the ginger sauce generously over the salmon.
