How To Cook Salmon And Noodles?
Here are the step by step instructions for this salmon and chilli lime noodles recipe:
Step One: Start by preheating the oven to 400°F and lining a baking sheet with foil. Make sure it is long enough to fold over and cover the salmon. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ingredients for the marinade.
Step Two: Peel the skin from the ginger and roughly chop it along with the garlic. Put the salmon in the marinade, making sure the sauce covers it. Then cover the bowl with plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge for at least 15 minutes.
Step Three: Wash and prep your vegetables. Chop the cabbage and julienne the carrots and bell pepper. Cut the ends of the cilantro or roughly chop if you want smaller pieces. Set all veggie toppings aside. You may want to use a julienne slicer for the carrots and bell peppers to get long, thin strips like in the photo. If you don’t have one, you can use a regular vegetable peeler or just chop them into small pieces. Here is a good quality slicer from Amazon.
Step Four: In a large pan, get water boiling for the noodles. Then boil the noodles as per package instructions. Next begin preparing your noodle sauce. In a small bowl, combine the lime juice, fish sauce, chili garlic sauce, garlic, Truvia granulated sugar, and water. Start with one Tablespoon of fish sauce and adjust as needed to desired taste.
Step Five: Once the salmon is finished marinating, put on the foil-lined baking sheet, pour the marinade on top of the salmon.
Step Six: Cover the salmon with foil and bake for 12 minutes.
Step Seven: Once the salmon is done baking, remove the top layer of foil and then stick it back in the oven to broil for 3-5 minutes. This will slightly char the salmon and give it a sticky sauce. All ovens are different so keep a close eye to ensure it doesn’t burn.
Step Eight: Begin assembling your shirataki noodle bowls. Add the noodles, cabbage, carrots, bell pepper, cilantro, and salmon. Serve with chopped peanuts and fresh mint leaves. Pour the remaining sauce on your noodles and top with sesame seeds.
