Teriyaki Salmon and Soba Noodles Recipe

Teriyaki salmon and soba noodles make a winning combination for a quick and tasty mid-week dinner, rich in omega-3 fatty acids. The authentic teriyaki sauce recipe is a must-try (you can also make a big batch for future use), however a store-bought teriyaki marinade will work well too.

Serves: 4
Prep time: 15 minutes
Cooking time: 10 minutes

INGREDIENTS

1 1/4 Tbs soy sauce
3 tsp cooking sake
3 tsp mirin
3 tsp water
1.5 tsp sugar
1 Tbs extra virgin olive oil
2 salmon fillets (about 450g), skin removed and cut into large cubes
1 Tbs cornflour
1/2 small head of broccoli, cut into small florets
350g cooked (ready-to-use) soba noodles
1 Tbs chives, thinly sliced
2 tsp sesame seeds

METHOD

1. Make the teriyaki sauce by combining the soy sauce, cooking sake, mirin, water and sugar in a small bowl.
2. Heat the oil in a non-stick frying pan over high heat.
3. Coat the salmon cubes evenly in the cornflour, dust off any excess flour and add to the hot pan. Cook the salmon on 2 sides for about 3 minutes, then transfer to a plate and set aside.
4. Add the teriyaki sauce to the pan and cook for about 1 minute, or until a thin glaze is formed.
5. Add the salmon back to the pan and toss gently until coated well in the teriyaki glaze. Gently stir in the broccoli and soba noodles and cook for a further 2 minutes, or until heated through.
6. Divide between 4 bowls and sprinkle with chives and sesame seeds to serve.
