What is good about noodles with salmon
This recipe for Noodles with Salmon is perfect because it uses simple ingredients from the cupboard. It is a light meal that still feels very satisfying. Cooking the fish and noodles together saves time and effort in the kitchen. The fresh vegetables add a nice texture and plenty of colour to your plate.
How to make noodles with salmon
Prepare ingredients: Boil a saucepan of water for the noodles. Cut the salmon into bite sized chunks and slice the pepper and broccoli. Finely chop the garlic and ginger to make the base for the sauce. This ensures everything is ready when the pan is hot.
Cook noodles: Place the noodles in the boiling water and cook according to the packet instructions. Drain them well and set them aside. While the noodles cook, mix the soy sauce, honey and sesame oil in a small bowl. This sauce will bring all the flavours together later.
Fry salmon: Heat a little oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Add the salmon pieces and cook for a few minutes until they turn pink. Remove the fish from the pan and keep it warm on a plate. This keeps the fish tender and prevents it from breaking apart.
Combine everything: Add the vegetables to the same pan and fry until they are slightly soft. Stir in the garlic and ginger for one minute before adding the cooked noodles and salmon. Pour the sauce over the Noodles with Salmon and toss everything together until hot. Serve immediately with sliced spring onions on top.
Useful tips for noodles with salmon
Use fresh salmon fillets for the best flavour and texture. If you prefer a bit of spice, add some red chilli flakes to the sauce. Make sure the pan is very hot before adding the vegetables to keep them crisp. You can swap the broccoli for snap peas or bok choy if you have them in the fridge.
Adding a squeeze of fresh lime juice just before serving gives the Noodles with Salmon a fresh lift. If the noodles seem too dry, add a splash of water or more soy sauce to the pan. Always drain the noodles well to prevent the dish from becoming watery.
