# Preparation steps:

01 - Combine soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, and ginger in a small saucepan. Simmer over medium heat. If a thicker glaze is desired, stir in cornstarch mixed with water until slightly thickened. Remove from heat and cool briefly.
02 - Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half the glaze over them. Reserve the remainder for serving. Marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
03 - Preheat oven to 400°F or heat grill. Line a baking tray with parchment paper or oil the grill surface lightly.
04 - Arrange the salmon fillets on the prepared tray or grill. Bake or grill for 10 to 12 minutes, basting halfway with reserved 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 all dressing ingredients in a small bowl or jar. Pour over the slaw and toss to evenly coat.
