I thought Iâd made salmon every way you can make it, until now. The tangy slaw, made with fennel and avocado, adds another layer of flavor that goes surprisingly well with salmon and other seafood.Amber Massey, Argyle, Texas Ingredients:
slaw: |
3 cups thinly sliced cabbage |
1-1/2 cups thinly sliced fennel bulb |
1 cup thinly sliced cucumber |
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion |

1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
2 medium ripe avocados, peeled and cubed |
1/4 cup lime juice |
