This salmon and cabbage salad is light yet still packed with flavor thanks to a vinaigrette of ginger, lime, soy sauce, and sesame oil.

Ingredients

  • 1 ½ cups frozen shelled edamame

  • 1 teaspoon finely grated lime zest, plus 2 tablespoons lime juice

  • 1 tablespoon honey

  • 6 teaspoons soy sauce

  • 1 tablespoon plus ¼ teaspoon toasted sesame oil

  • ¾ pound center-cut salmon fillet, skin removed

  • 5 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger (from a 3-inch piece)

  • ¼ head napa cabbage, cored and thinly sliced (4 cups)

  • ½ head red cabbage, cored and thinly sliced (4 cups)

  • 1 small bunch scallions, thinly sliced (¾ cup)

Directions

  1. Cook edamame according to package instructions; drain. Heat broiler, with rack in top position. In a small bowl, stir together lime zest, honey, and 2 teaspoons soy sauce. Brush a foil-lined rimmed baking sheet with 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil. Add salmon; brush with honey glaze. Broil until salmon is browned and opaque throughout, 6 minutes. Let cool slightly. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together lime juice, ginger, 4 teaspoons soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Add cabbages, edamame, and scallions and toss to coat. Flake salmon into salad and toss very gently to combine.
