Asian Honey-Sesame Salmon Noodles

Asian cuisine is renowned for its ability to balance flavors — sweet, salty, sour, and spicy — all in one harmonious dish. Today, I’m excited to share a recipe that epitomizes this balance: Asian Honey-Sesame Salmon Noodles. This dish combines tender salmon with a vibrant noodle mix, creating a meal that’s as nutritious as it is delicious.

Ingredients

For the noodles:

• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 5 green onions, chopped
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• 10 button mushrooms, sliced
• ¼ cup soy sauce
• ¼ cup honey
• ¼ cup chicken stock
• 2 tbsp sesame oil
• 1 tsp Sriracha sauce
• 2 cups snow peas, ends trimmed
• ½ lb pasta, preferably Fettuccine

For the salmon:

• 2 tbsp cooking oil
• 1 lb salmon
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1 tbsp honey
• 1 tbsp soy sauce

Directions

Asian Noodles:

1. Prepare the base: In a large frying pan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped green onions and sesame seeds, and sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onions start to soften.
2. Add mushrooms: Incorporate the sliced mushrooms and continue to cook for another 2 minutes. Remove the pan from heat momentarily.
3. Mix the sauce: To the pan, add soy sauce, honey, chicken stock, sesame oil, and Sriracha. Stir well and set this mixture aside.
4. Blanch snow peas: In boiling water, cook the snow peas for 3-5 minutes until they are brightly colored but still crunchy. Drain them.
5. Cook pasta: Meanwhile, cook the pasta until al dente according to package instructions; drain.
6. Combine: Return the noodles and snow peas to the pan with the sauce. Mix everything well over medium-low heat until heated through.

Asian Salmon:

1. Prepare salmon: Preheat your broiler and heat a skillet on high. Add oil and place the salmon, non-skin side down, and sear for 4 minutes.
2. Flip and sear: Turn the salmon to the skin side and sear for another 3 minutes.
3. Glaze and broil: Mix honey with soy sauce and brush this glaze over the salmon. Place under the broiler for about 3 minutes, or until the surface is slightly charred and caramelized.
