Salmon with Soba Noodles & Pak Choi
A quick & easy healthy meal with crispy skin salmon and a sweet & salty sesame sauce.
Serves 2
Ingredients
For the marinade:
6 tbsp tamari or soy sauce
2 tbsp sake
2 tbsp mirin
1 ½ tbsp rice vinegar
2 tsp honey
2 tsp sesame oil
2 tbsp water
2 pak choi, quartered lengthways
4 spring onions, sliced
1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds
200g buckwheat soba noodles
1 tbsp vegetable oil
Method
-
Mix all the ingredients for the marinade together in a bowl and place the salmon fillets flesh side down in the marinade for 30 minutes
-
Meanwhile, boil the noodles according to the packet instructions, you want them to be al dente, then drain and immediately rinse under cold water to remove the extra starch.
-
Heat the oil in in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Remove the salmon from the marinade and place in the pan skin side down (reserving the marinade) along with the pak choi. Fry for around 3-4 minutes until the skin of the salmon is crispy. Turn the salmon over and cook for a further 2-3 minutes on the flesh side; turn the pak choi throughout cooking to prevent it from burning.
-
Remove the salmon & pak choi from the pan and set aside. Add the noodles to the pan, followed by the marinade, spring onions & sesame seeds. Toss everything together until it is heated through.

Serve the noodles with the salmon & pak choi, garnish with extra spring onions & sesame seeds
