Asian Salmon And Noodles Recipe
I have to tell you, this Asian Salmon and Noodles recipe has become one of my go-to meals. The first time I made it, I was utterly amazed by how the rich flavors of the marinated salmon blended perfectly with the tender noodles and crisp veggies.
Ingredients
- Fresh salmon fillets
- Noodles like udon or soba
- Soy sauce
- Sesame oil
- Fresh ginger
- Garlic
- Assorted vegetables bell peppers, carrots, snap peas
- Green onions
- Sesame seeds
- Lime wedges
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- First thing first, marinate your salmon. 🥢 Combine soy sauce, minced ginger, garlic, and a dash of sesame oil in a mixing bowl. Coat the salmon fillets completely and set them aside to absorb all the flavors for about 20 minutes.
- While the salmon is marinating, cook the noodles following the package instructions. 🍜 Drain and rinse them under cold water to stop cooking and prevent them from sticking. Set aside.
- Heat a skillet over medium-high heat with a splash of sesame oil. Toss in the sliced bell peppers, carrots, and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes until the veggies are crisp yet tender. 🥕
- Using the same skillet, cook the marinated salmon for a few minutes on each side until it’s fully cooked. 🍣 Once done, flake the salmon into bite-sized pieces and set aside.
- Add the cooked noodles, veggies, and flaked salmon back to the skillet. Drizzle with some more soy sauce and a spritz of lime juice for brightness. Mix everything gently but thoroughly. 🥗 Sprinkle sesame seeds and sliced green onions on top as a final touch.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh salmon and vegetables make a huge difference in the flavor.
- Don’t Overcook the Noodles: Slightly undercooking them prevents mushiness when stir-frying.
- Marinate for Longer: If time allows, marinate the salmon for up to an hour for extra flavor.
- Add the Lime Last: A squeeze of fresh lime at the end elevates the overall taste.
