Ingredients

4 cups thinly sliced Napa cabbage
4 cups (packed) thinly sliced fresh spinach
1 red bell pepper, cut into matchstick-size strips
1 carrot, cut into matchstick-size strips
1/4 cup rice vinegar
1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon canola oil
1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon oriental sesame oil
6 6-ounce salmon fillets
1 teaspoon chopped peeled fresh ginger
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/2 cup fresh orange juice

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    Toss first 4 ingredients in large bowl to combine. Whisk vinegar, 1/4 cup canola oil, 1 tablespoon soy sauce and sesame oil in medium bowl. Set vinaigrette aside.

Add orange and lime juices and 1 teaspoon soy sauce; boil until mixture is reduced to 1/4 cup glaze, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat. Rewhisk vinaigrette. Add to vegetable mixture and toss to coat. Divide equally among plates. Place 1 salmon fillet atop vegetables on each plate. Drizzle glaze over salmon and serve.
