Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each, skin on)
  • 3 tablespoons white or yellow miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
  • 2 cups thinly shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • 1 cup julienned or shredded carrots
  • ½ cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • 3 chopped green onions
  • ½ cup ranch dressing
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • Avocado slices or guacamole
  • Pickled jalapeños (optional)
  • Crumbled Cotija or feta cheese
  • Extra cilantro leaves for garnish
  • Warm corn or flour tortillas (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together miso paste, soy sauce, honey or maple syrup, rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated fresh ginger until smooth and glossy. Set aside.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine green cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, chopped cilantro, and green onions. Add ranch dressing and lime juice, then toss gently to coat evenly. Chill while cooking salmon.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Pat salmon fillets dry and season lightly with salt. Place skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until skin is crisp and fish is cooked about two-thirds through.
  4. Flip salmon carefully and brush miso glaze generously over cooked side. Cook for another 2-3 minutes, spooning more glaze on top to build a sticky, caramelized coating. Salmon should flake easily but remain moist.
  5. Divide ranch taco slaw evenly among 4 bowls. Top each with a glazed salmon fillet.
  6. Add toppings such as halved cherry tomatoes, avocado slices, pickled jalapeños, and crumbled Cotija cheese. Garnish with extra cilantro leaves.
  7. Heat corn or flour tortillas and serve alongside for scooping and wrapping.
  8. Enjoy immediately while salmon is warm and slaw is crisp.

Notes

If glaze thickens too much while cooking, add a splash of water to loosen. Do not overcook salmon; remove when slightly underdone as it continues cooking from residual heat. Toss ranch slaw just before serving to keep veggies crisp. Store salmon and slaw separately if saving leftovers.
