NICK'S FAVOURITES
Asian Salmon Noodles

From time to time, Nick wants to eat healthy. What he means is, perhaps a little less cheese today. Add other veggies to this dish if you like but this is healthy enough for Mr. D and super delicious.
Made by Sherry with love and his blood pressure in mind.

-
2 tablespoons sesame oil
-
3 tablespoons honey
-
4 tablespoons soy sauce (for gluten free, use gluten-free soy sauce)
-
4 tablespoons rice vinegar
-
1 tablespoon fish sauce
-
4 cloves garlic , minced
-
1 tsp fresh minced ginger
-
1/2 tsp or more sriracha or sambal oleek (or as hot s desired)
-
1.2 lb salmon
-
1 tbsp vegetable oil for frying
-
4 spring onions sliced in 1" lengths
-
julienne carrot sticks and/or snow peas, bok choi, kale, shelled edamame (put the veggies in before Nick notices!!)
-
1 tsp black and/or white sesame seeds

8 ounces rice noodles

Instructions
-
To prepare the marinade, in a medium bowl, combine the sesame oil, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, fish sauce, garlic, and ginger and whisk to blend.
-
Place salmon in a baking dish, skin-side down. Pour the marinade over the salmon, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
-
Pour boiling water over rice noodles and leave soaking for 20 minutes or until al dente.
-
Heat veg oil on medium high. Cook salmon without the marinade until just pink inside - approximately 3 mins each side depending on thickness. Add spring onions and any other veg to pan for 1 minute.
-
Meanwhile put the sauce (the marinade) in the sauce pan on the stove top and reduce by boiling it down a little bit. Be careful – don’t over do it – reduce it just a bit to have enough to pour over each of 4 serving of fish. Add a couple of tbsps of water if too little.
-
Drain noodles and divide into 4 dishes.
-
Place fish spring onions and carrots on the drained noodles. Pour sauce over each serving and a spritz of fresh lime juice and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.
