# Method:

01 - Combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat. If thicker glaze is desired, stir cornstarch with water and add to the pan, cooking until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and cool briefly.
02 - Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the teriyaki glaze over them. Marinate for 10 to 15 minutes, reserving the remaining glaze for serving.
03 - Preheat oven to 400°F or heat grill. Line a baking tray with parchment or lightly oil the grill.
04 - Arrange salmon on the prepared tray or grill. Bake or grill for 10 to 12 minutes until cooked through and glossy, basting with extra glaze halfway. Discard any marinade used for marinating.
05 - In a large bowl, combine napa cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, spring onions, cilantro, and roasted peanuts.
06 - Whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, lime juice, ginger, and chili flakes in a small bowl or jar.
07 - Pour dressing over the slaw and toss to coat evenly.
08 - Divide slaw among serving bowls, top each with a teriyaki salmon fillet, drizzle with reserved glaze, and garnish with sesame seeds and sliced spring onions.
