Teriyaki Salmon
with broccoli / soba noodles
Sweet and savory teriyaki sauce is always popular in our community kitchens, and we love the balance of flavors it brings to roasted salmon. Soba noodle saute is a quick and filling side dish.
Smarts: Roasting salmon in the teriyaki sauce cooks it more slowly and evenly than searing it in a pan. You can tell the salmon is cooked through when it flakes easily with a fork.

Make
- Heat oven to 425F / 218C.
- Place salmon into a parchment-lined baking dish and coat with 1/4 cup / 60 mL (for 4 servings; adjust if customized) teriyaki sauce. Top salmon with sesame seeds and green onions (green and white parts). Bake until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 15 to 25 minutes, depending on thickness of the salmon (1 1/2” / 3.75cm thick salmon takes about 20 minutes).
- While salmon cooks, bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Add broccoli and noodles together. Cook until noodles and broccoli are tender. (Soba noodles don’t take long to cook, so keep an eye out; broccoli should still have some crunch.) Drain.
- Toss soba noodles and broccoli with 1/4 cup / 60 mL (for 4 servings; adjust if customized) teriyaki sauce. Stir in cashews.
- Serve salmon with broccoli soba noodles and lime wedges for squeezing over the entire dish. Enjoy.

Tasty, but the sauce wasn't super flavorful. Could have used some more...something. Will make again and try to adjust; it was better with the green onions.
0 HelpfulMy husband said this is the best salmon he has ever had. I thought it was very good, as well. Very easy to make. The soba side was a nice pairing. I did double the sauce recipe like many of the comments suggested.
