Ingredients

1 cup brown basmati rice
Coarse salt and ground pepper
1 pound Napa cabbage (1/2 head), thinly sliced crosswise
1 pound carrots, coarsely grated
1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
1/4 cup fresh lime juice, plus lime wedges for serving
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
4 salmon filets (6 ounces each)
2 teaspoons curry powder

Directions

Cook the brown basmati rice according to the package instructions, seasoning with a pinch of salt. Set aside and keep warm.
In a large bowl, combine the sliced Napa cabbage, grated carrots, and fresh mint leaves. Drizzle with lime juice and 1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Toss well and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). In a small bowl, mix the curry powder with 1 tablespoon of grapeseed oil, and rub the mixture evenly over the salmon filets. Season the salmon with salt and pepper.
Heat a nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Place the salmon filets in the skillet, skin-side down, and cook for 2-3 minutes until the skin is crispy. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for an additional 8-10 minutes, until the salmon is cooked through.
Serve the curry-rubbed salmon over the warm brown basmati rice, alongside the Napa slaw. Garnish with lime wedges for an extra burst of flavor.
