Make
- Bring a saucepan of water to boil. Add soba noodles and cook according to package instructions.
- While noodles cook, heat a nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil (the portion for salmon). Remove salmon from marinade (discard marinade) and place flesh-side down in heated pan. Sear salmon on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes. Lower heat to medium, cover pan loosely with foil and cook for another 4 to 8 minutes, depending on thickness of salmon and desired level of doneness.
- Make dressing by combining reserved half of marinade with peanut butter, miso and sesame seeds. (To get a smooth sauce, it helps to combine all ingredients in a jar or plastic container with a lid and shake well.)
- Drain noodles and combine with bell peppers, carrots and edamame. Add dressing and toss to combine.
- Serve salmon over noodles and finish with fresh lime juice. Enjoy!

We doubled the sauce as suggested by others. We have enough leftovers for a second dinner!
0 HelpfulThis recipe just needed 'more.' More salmon, and double (if not triple) the sauce. Had things been more proportional, the flavor would've been fine. Recipe made enough soba noodles, and there was plenty of carrots and edamame, but everything was a little too bland given sauce and salmon limits.
0 HelpfulI really liked this! Don't skimp on salmon. I also used the noodle base for 4-year-old as leftovers with other things like chicken, broccoli, etc.
