1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
1 tbsp (15 ml) vegetable oil

Slaw

3 kohlrabi (or small white turnips), peeled and thinly sliced on a mandoline
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp sugar
3 tbsp (45 ml) vegetable oil
1 tbsp (15 ml) lemon juice
2 celery stalks with leaves, thinly sliced

Yogurt Sauce

1/2 cup (125 ml) plain Greek yogurt
1 tbsp (15 ml) whole-grain mustard

Preparation

Salmon

With the rack in the middle position, preheat the oven to 300°F (150°C).
In a glass baking dish, rub the salmon pieces with the salt and sugar. Coat with the oil.
Bake skin side down for about 25 minutes, depending on the thickness, or just until the fish is flaky. Remove the skin.

Slaw

Meanwhile, in a bowl, combine the kohlrabi with the salt and sugar. Let sit for 15 minutes at room temperature. Drain well. Return to the bowl and add the remaining ingredients. Stir well.

Yogurt Sauce

In a small bowl, combine all the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper.
When ready to serve, divide the yogurt sauce among four plates. Top with the slaw and salmon.
