Instructions
1
Preheat your grill or broiler to medium-high heat. If desired, leave the skin on the salmon fillets for added flavor.
2
In a blender, combine the barbecue sauce, rice wine vinegar, chopped scallions, and ginger. Blend until well mixed; set aside.
3
Place the salmon fillets on the grill or broiler. Grill for about 6-8 minutes per side, basting frequently with the barbecue sauce mixture. For skin-on salmon, grill skin side down first until crispy, then flip and continue cooking, basting throughout.
4
While the salmon is cooking, prepare the vegetables. Remove the tough cores from the napa and radicchio cabbages, then slice them thinly.
5
In a large saucepan, heat the extra virgin olive oil over high heat. Add the sliced napa cabbage, radicchio, and chopped mushrooms. Sauté quickly for about 3-4 minutes until vegetables are just tender but still crisp.
6
Deglaze the pan with the white wine or sake, stirring and scraping up any caramelized bits at the bottom. Season with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
7
For the Chinese mustard sauce, blend together mayonnaise, mustard powder, Dijon mustard, additional rice wine vinegar, remaining scallions, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
8
To plate, create a bed of sautéed greens in the center of each plate. Add several dots of the Chinese mustard sauce decoratively around the vegetables. Top with the grilled salmon fillet and finish with a sprinkle of chopped chives.
