Ingredients

2 medium beets
2 medium carrots
2 Granny Smith apples
1 small bunch green onions (scallions)
1 orange
1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
1 1/2 lb salmon fillet
1/4 cup sliced almonds
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 tablespoon honey
Salt and pepper to taste

Method

1
Wash and dry all fresh produce.
2
Peel and coarsely grate the beets and carrots, then transfer to a large salad bowl.
3
Quarter the apples, remove the core and stem, and coarsely grate them into the salad bowl.
4
Trim the green onions and cut them into ¼-inch pieces at an angle, then add to the salad bowl.
5
In a small bowl, whisk together the juice of the orange, grated ginger, honey, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, salt, and pepper to create the dressing.
6
Pour the dressing over the slaw in the salad bowl and toss until well combined. Set aside.
7
Heat a skillet over medium heat. While it's heating, season the salmon with salt and pepper on both sides.
8
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom.
9
Place the salmon, skin-side down, in the skillet. Cook until the salmon is cooked through and flaky, about 3 to 5 minutes per side. Remove from heat.
10
Toast the sliced almonds in a dry pan over medium heat until golden brown, then add to the slaw and mix.
11
To serve, place a portion of the citrus ginger slaw on each plate and top with a piece of the seared salmon.
