Cooking Light recently re-designed their magazine, and it looks amazing. I love the changes, and this month's issue has a bunch of recipes that I look forward to trying. This one was very fast and full of flavor. The slaw was quite spicy, and if you are sensitive to spicy foods, decrease the amount of Sriracha. I made the full amount of slaw and served it with the next night's dinner. It makes a lot though.
Crispy Skin Salmon with Fiery Asian Slaw
source: Cooking Light, September 2009
Yield 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
- 3/4 teaspoon salt, divided
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Cooking spray
- 1/4 cup fresh orange juice
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 teaspoons Sriracha (hot chile sauce)
- 1 teaspoon bottled ground fresh ginger
- 1/2 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
- 1 (16-ounce) package cabbage-and-carrot coleslaw
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
1. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat. Sprinkle 1/4 tsp salt and pepper over salmon fillets. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add salmon, skin-side down, to pan and cook 4 minutes. Turn salmon and cook an additional 3 minutes. Add orange juice to the pan, cooking until it almost evaporates and fish flakes easily with a fork.
2. Meanwhile, combine rice vinegar and next 5 ingredients in a large bowl, and stir with a whisk. Add remaining salt, cilantro, and coleslaw, tossing well to coat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
3. Serve salmon with slaw.

I just went through my Cooking Light yesterday and folded over the corner of the page for this slaw recipe! So glad you tried it and enjoyed- I'll be making it soon. Congrats again on your 1st home purchase!
Congrats on your new house! We really liked this recipe too.
I bought this en route to Kansas City and bookmarked that recipe, too! John and I made the salmon but not the slaw...yet. Mmmmm salmon.
Side note, I'm thinking of subscribing to that magazine. I bought that one issue on a whim because of my boring layover, and I loved it!
Congrats on your house - how exciting! Good luck getting settled in.
Your salmon looks perfect! I keep meaning to subscribe to CL.
Congratulations on the new house, but boo hiss to the electric range.
I'm glad you're settled in your new home, and back to being "connected" to the internet world again!
This looks like a great recipe. I'll have to check out Cooking Light's redesign. Because, as much as I LOVE their recipes, I found myself not loving the magazine so much.
Mmmm - I love how you paired this with a spicy slaw!!
Gotta love Cooking Light. Somehow I overlooked this recipe, so thanks for posting!
