With the arrival of Ash Wednesday, many are paying more attention to their choices in the kitchen.

John Clark from Hamlin Pub stopped by FOX 2 to show us how to make Salmon Sliders to add a "bistro kick" to your recipe book.

Warning: As Jason shows us in the video above, taking a large forkful of wasabi is not recommended.

Hamlin Pub has five locations: Chesterfield, Clarkston, Rochester Hills and two in Shelby Township. For more information, visit hamlinpubs.com.

Ingredients
Salmon
1 small red onion
2 cups vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon salt
Tomato slices
Mini buns

Wasabi-Ginger Slaw
Fresh chopped cabbage
Fresh ginger
Wasabi paste
Mayonnaise

Pickled Red Onion Recipe
Add 2 cups of vinegar, 2 tablespoons of sugar and 1 teaspoon of salt in a mixing bowl. Whisk for 1 minute to dissolve sugar. Next, peel 1 red onion and slice very thin. Add the onion to the vinegar mixture. Place in sealed container in refrigerator for at least 1 hour before using. (You can leave pickled red onion in vinegar for longer-it will last for weeks and will taste more pickled the longer you let it sit.)

Wasabi-Ginger Slaw Recipe
Peel or shave fresh ginger (1 small piece) and finely dice. In mixing bowl, add a ½  cup of mayonnaise, a ½ cup of wasabi paste, a pinch of black pepper and a teaspoon of garlic powder. Mix all ingredients well with whisk.
