Ingredients you’ll need

All you need to make this teriyaki salmon soba noodles recipe are 10 simple, healthy ingredients:

• Salmon fillets- use skinless and pin-boned salmon.
• Buckwheat soba noodles (use 100% buckwheat for gluten-free)
• Broccolini
• Spring onions (scallions)- both green and white parts
• Carrots
• Teriyaki sauce
• Ginger
• Sesame oil
• Lime juice– optional but adds a yummy zing at the end.
• Sesame seeds

How to make this teriyaki salmon soba noodles dish:

Marinate the salmon: Cut the salmon fillets into large chunks (about 3 pieces per fillet). Then place into a bowl and coat with 1⁄4 cup teriyaki sauce. Set aside for 10 minutes to coat or refrigerate for 2 hours if possible*. The longer you marinate it, the more flavoursome the salmon will be.

Cook salmon: Heat a large frying pan or wok with a little oil and add salmon pieces.ook for 2-3 minutes on each side until just cooked. Set aside to rest, loosely covered with foil for 5 minutes.

Noodles: Cook soba noodles according to package instructions and prepare vegetables.

Stir fry: add remaining sesame oil to the large pan or with with the carrots, spring onions, broccolini and ginger. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until vegetables are just tender. Pour in the remaining 1/2 cup teriyaki sauce and cook for 1 minute. Add the drained noodles to the wok with the salmon and any resting juices. Toss to warm though and squeeze over fresh lime juice.  

Serve: divide the noodles between bowls and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Enjoy!

Recipe Modifications & Ingredient Swaps

• Instead of soba noodles, feel free to use other noodles like udon, raman, rice noodles, or even spaghetti
• Feel free to get creative with the veggies you use in this recipe – swap the broccolini for asparagus or regular broccoli. Instead of carrots try sliced red capsicum (bell peppers). This would taste great with something like baby corn spears or snow peas, too!
• For a homemade teriyaki sauce version, simply mix tamari soy sauce or coconut aminos with maple syrup, ginger and garlic. I prefer to use store bought for convenience— just look for one that is lower in sugar .

Salmon Nutrition Facts

Salmon is an excellent source of quality, complete protein, which helps to protect bone health and prevent muscle loss, among many other functions. A 170g (6 ounce) piece will provide 34 grams.

In addition to protein, salmon is rich in heart-healthy unsaturated fatty acids, including omega-3s. Omega-3s are known to support brain health, heart health, and to reduce inflammation overall.

How Long Do Leftovers Keep?

This salmon with soba noodles recipe keep for up to 3 days in an airtight container in the fridge. I’d recommend enjoying the leftovers cold, so as to not compromise the texture of the salmon.
