Ingredients
 

  • 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
  • 6 ounces shiitake mushrooms sliced
  • 2 8-ounce bags shredded cabbage (8 to 10 cups)
  • 1 yellow bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper thinly sliced
  • 1 pound cooked wild salmon
  • 1 English cucumber sliced
  • 2 cups cooked brown rice

Ginger Scallion Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup soy sauce
  • 1/4 cup rice vinegar
  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes

  • Heat oil over medium heat, then sauté the mushrooms until golden brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Combine the sautéed mushrooms, shredded cabbage, sliced bell peppers in a large bowl.

  • Fill four bowls equally with the cabbage mixture, rice, and sliced cucumber. Top with cooked salmon. Drizzle with remaining sauce.

Notes

Quick & Easy Cooking Methods:

Instead of purchasing pre-cooked salmon or chicken, prepare at home:
  1. Preheat oven to 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil.
  2. Drizzle olive oil over salmon or chicken breast and season with salt and pepper to taste.
  3. For chicken, cook for 30 to 35 min until cooked through. For salmon, cook until the flesh is light pink and flakes easily, about 10 to 12 minutes.
