Instructions
Rinse the quinoa and boil it in salted water according to the package instructions. Once done, fluff with a fork and set aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, honey, soy sauce, and half of the grated ginger until smooth.
In a large bowl, toss the shredded cabbage and carrots with lime juice, sesame oil, and the remaining ginger. Season with a pinch of salt.
Heat a pan over medium-high heat with a little oil. Sear the salmon skin-side down for 4 minutes. Flip, brush the miso glaze generously over the top, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the glaze is caramelized and the salmon is cooked through.
Divide the quinoa among four plates, top with a salmon fillet, and serve the fresh slaw on the side. Garnish with fresh cilantro and a lime wedge if desired.
