Ingredients

Broccoli Apple Slaw

1 12 oz package of broccoli slaw mix
2 cup julienne-cut apple any type
¼ cup thinly sliced red onion
¼ cup mayo *see notes for substitutes
2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
2½ tbsp prepared horseradish
2 tsp lemon zest
½ tsp lemon juice *more can be used on salmon¼
¼ tsp salt
1½ tsp sugar
1 tsp cracked pepper
½ tsp chipotle powder

Herbed Baked Salmon

1 lb thawed salmon sliced into 4 oz filets
1½ tbsp olive oil
1 tsp chipotle powder *there are two measurements, one for the slaw and one for the salmon
1 tsp paprika powder
1 tsp dried crushed oregano
¼ tsp salt
1 lb steamed prepared green beans

Instructions

Set oven to 375º. Rinse salmon and pat it dry with a paper towel. In a small bowl, whisk olive oil and seasonings. In a baking dish, add salmon filets and rub over salmon with oil/seasoning mixture. Place in the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes. Oven temps and salmon thickness vary so please keep an eye on the salmon for preferred doneness. I like my salmon medium well.
While salmon if cooking prepare slaw and steamed veggies if you are making veggies. Thinly slice red onions and slice apples with a julienne slicer. You may also cut the apples into little cubes if you do not have a julienne slicer. Zest you lemon add broccoli slaw, onion, apples, zest to a large bowl. In a medium bowl, add all the dressing ingredients; mayo, horseradish, vinegar, sugar, lemon juice, seasoning whisk together well. dressing will be a bit thick, the moisture from the apples will help to thin it out when you mix.
Steamed veggies should be steamed in a basket for about 5-10 minutes depending on the veggie you choose.

Notes

*plain greek yogurt, vegan mayo or sour cream will work as well.

*use any salmon of choice. I like to use whats on sale or whatever salmon I can afford at the time however, wild caught is typically my favorite.
