Salmon Sliders with Tangy Mustard Slaw

The deep purple of the cabbage slaw would be enough to liven up these salmon sliders, but we add even more color with a simple carrot and cucumber side salad.

Ingredients

Slaw

1 tablespoon spicy brown mustard
1 tablespoon avocado oil or canola oil
1 tablespoon distilled white vinegar
1 teaspoon honey
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
1 cup shredded red cabbage
1 small bulb fennel, cored and thinly sliced

Salad

¼ cup low-fat plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon chopped fresh dill
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground pepper
2 medium carrots, peeled and thinly sliced
1 medium cucumber, thinly sliced

Salmon

1 ¼ pounds salmon fillet, skin-on
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
8 slider buns or small dinner rolls (see Tip), preferably whole-wheat, split and toasted

Directions

To prepare slaw: Whisk mustard, oil, vinegar, honey, and 1/4 tsp. pepper in a medium bowl. Add cabbage and fennel; toss to coat. Set aside.
To prepare salad: Whisk yogurt, lemon juice, dill, salt, and 1/8 tsp. pepper in another medium bowl. Add carrots and cucumber; toss to combine. Set aside.
To prepare salmon: Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper. If the fillet is too large to fit in the pan, cut it in half. Heat oil in a large cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon, skin-side up, and cook for 4 minutes. Flip and cook until the salmon flakes with a fork, 5 to 6 minutes, depending on thickness.
Divide the salmon among buns (or rolls) and top with the reserved slaw. Serve the salad on the side.

Tips

Tip: If you can't find 8 slider buns or small dinner rolls (about 2 inches in diameter), substitute 4 whole-wheat sandwich rolls.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
