# How to Make It:

01 - In a small bowl, whisk together the teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, honey, grated ginger, and sesame oil. Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish, pour the marinade over them, and let sit for 15 minutes.
02 - Cook soba noodles in a saucepan of boiling water according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse the noodles under cold water. Toss with 1 teaspoon sesame oil to prevent sticking.
03 - In a large mixing bowl, combine the red cabbage, napa or green cabbage, julienned carrot, cucumber, spring onions, and toasted sesame seeds.
04 - In a small bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and grated ginger. Pour the dressing over the prepared vegetables and toss thoroughly to coat.
05 - Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and gently pat off excess moisture. Sear each fillet for 3 to 4 minutes per side until caramelized on the outside and cooked through.
06 - Divide soba noodles evenly among bowls. Top each with a generous portion of crunchy slaw and a salmon fillet. Sprinkle with fresh cilantro and toasted sesame seeds. Serve immediately with lime wedges on the side.
