Salmon: Combine mayonnaise and wasabi paste in a medium-sized bowl. Blend until well combined. Mash the salmon with a fork until bones and skin are well combined. Blend the salmon and green onion with the mayonnaise mixture. Reserve.
Slaw: In a large bowl, combine the soy sauce, lime juice, honey, garlic and pepper. Whisking, drizzle in the vegetable and sesame oils. Add the slaw blend and toss to combine. Divide the slaw between 4 plates. Top each bed of slaw with a scoop of salmon and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
Makes 4 servings.
Tip: To make your own wasabi paste, blend equal parts wasabi powder with water until smooth. Because different powders have different heat intensities, add to the salmon a little at a time tasting between additions.
