Cooking Directions

Marinate and Glaze the Salmon

In a bowl, whisk soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, sriracha (if using), and lime juice. Place salmon fillets in the mixture and let them marinate for at least 10 minutes.

Cook the Salmon

Heat a nonstick skillet over medium heat and lightly oil it. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 3–4 minutes. Flip and spoon extra glaze over the fillets as they finish cooking, about 3–4 more minutes, until caramelized and cooked through.

Prepare the Noodles

Cook noodles according to package instructions, drain, and set aside.

Stir-Fry the Vegetables

Heat vegetable oil and sesame oil in a large pan. Add onion, peppers, carrots, broccoli, and snap peas. Stir-fry for 4–5 minutes. Add garlic and cook 1 minute more.

Combine Everything

Add the cooked noodles to the vegetables with soy sauce, oyster sauce, and rice vinegar. Toss well until heated through. Adjust seasoning.

How to Serve This Recipe

Serve the stir-fried noodles as the base in a shallow bowl or plate. Place the glazed salmon fillet on top so the glossy finish stands out. Spoon any remaining glaze from the pan over the fish. Garnish with sesame seeds, chopped spring onions, and a fresh lime wedge for brightness. Serve hot for the best texture.

Recipe Tips

Use skin-on salmon for better moisture retention.
Do not overcook the salmon; it should remain flaky and moist.
Thinly slice vegetables to ensure they cook quickly and evenly.
Add a splash of noodle cooking water to loosen the stir-fry if needed.
For stronger flavor, marinate salmon for up to 30 minutes.
Use a wok for better stir-fry heat distribution.

Variations

Spicy Version: Add extra sriracha or use chili oil in the stir-fry.
Vegetarian Version: Replace salmon with tofu or tempeh using the same glaze.
Low-Carb Version: Swap noodles for zucchini noodles or cauliflower rice.
Teriyaki Twist: Replace honey with brown sugar and add 1 tablespoon mirin for deeper sweetness.
Citrus Version: Add orange zest and juice to the glaze for a fruity flavor.
Crunchy Version: Top with roasted peanuts or cashews.

Freezing and Storage

Refrigeration: Store salmon and noodles separately in airtight containers for up to 3 days.
Freezing: Cooked salmon freezes well for up to 2 months; thaw in refrigerator before reheating.
Noodles are best eaten fresh and not recommended for freezing due to texture changes.
Reheating: Warm gently in a skillet with a splash of water to revive moisture.
