Easy How-To

Let’s Do This!

First things first – cook the noodles according to the package instructions. I usually drain them and set them aside while I do the other stuff, so they don’t get all mushy. Now, let’s marinate the salmon! Just mix together the teriyaki sauce with soy sauce, mirin, and a bit of sugar in a bowl. Let the salmon sit in there for at least 15 minutes, just soaking up all that goodness… Meanwhile, heat up a non-stick pan over medium-high heat, splash in a bit of oil, and put the salmon in skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until it’s nice and crispy. Then flip it and give it another couple of minutes until you’re sure it’s cooked through. Don’t forget to pour that marinade over it – let it bubble and thicken a bit, so it coats the salmon beautifully. Once that’s done, gently flake the salmon into pieces and toss it with the noodles you cooked earlier… Finally, plate it up, sprinkle those sesame seeds and green onions on top, and voilà! Dinner is served!

Good to Know

• If you want a bit of zing, try adding some chili flakes or a dash of sriracha.
• Keep things light by adding more veggies, like snap peas or broccoli.

Serving Ideas

• Serve it with a side of steamed edamame or a simple green salad – it balances nicely!

Top Tricks

• Let your salmon rest for a few minutes after cooking to keep it juicy!
