Curry-Rubbed Salmon with Napa Slaw

Broiling is a good way to brown the salmon without adding fat. For a golden color and crisp finish, don’t turn the fish while it is under the broiler; it will still cook all the way through without this extra step.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

2 cups water
1 cup brown basmati rice
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 head napa cabbage (1 pound), thinly sliced crosswise
1 pound carrots, peeled and coarsely grated
1/2 cup loosely packed fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup fresh lime juice (from 2 to 3 limes), plus lime wedges for serving
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
4 skinless wild Alaskan salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
2 teaspoons curry powder

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large saucepan, bring the water to a boil; add the rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cover and reduce heat to medium-low. Cook until rice is tender and has absorbed all liquid, 30 to 35 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, 10 minutes.

    Step 2

    Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine cabbage, carrots, mint, lime juice, oil, and 1/2 teaspoon salt; season with pepper. Toss to combine.

    Step 3

    Heat broiler, with rack set 4 inches from heat source. While rice is standing, place salmon on a broiler pan or rimmed baking sheet. Rub fillets with curry powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt, dividing evenly; season with pepper. Broil until just cooked through, 6 to 8 minutes.

    Step 4

    Divide salmon and cabbage mixture among four plates. Fluff rice with a fork and serve alongside.
