# Method Steps:

01 - Combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat. If thickening, mix cornstarch with water, add to saucepan, and stir until lightly thickened. Remove from heat and cool slightly.
02 - Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the teriyaki glaze over them. Reserve remaining glaze for serving. Marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
03 - Preheat oven to 400°F or prepare a grill. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or lightly oil the grill surface.
04 - Place salmon on the prepared tray or grill. Bake or grill for 10 to 12 minutes, basting halfway through with extra marinade, until cooked through and glazed. Discard marinade used for marinating.
05 - In a large bowl, combine napa cabbage, red cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, spring onions, cilantro, and peanuts.
06 - Whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, lime juice, grated ginger, and optional chili flakes in a small bowl or jar. Pour over the slaw and toss thoroughly.
07 - Divide the Asian slaw among four bowls. Top each with a teriyaki salmon fillet. Drizzle with reserved teriyaki glaze and garnish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced spring onions.
