Make
- Heat oven to 400F / 204C.
- Place fish into a baking dish. Pour half the soy ginger sauce over fish (reserve the remaining half). Cover with foil and bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, 12 to 18 minutes (depending on thickness).
- While fish cooks, heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil (the portion for the noodles) and then carrots, bok choy and white parts of green onions to heated oil. Saute until vegetables are tender, 2 to 4 minutes.
- Whisk peanut butter, miso paste, water and sesame seeds into remaining half of soy ginger sauce. Pour sauce over vegetables and cook for 1 minute more. Remove from heat and stir in noodles.
- Top noodles with green parts of green onions.
- Serve fish with noodles on the side and lime wedges for squeezing over top. Enjoy!

Salmon was good, but it made a lot of the noodle/veggie mixture. I will probably double the sauce for the salmon next time and use that extra on the noodles because I thought the noodles could use a little more flavor.
0 HelpfulGreat stuff. Had some extra salmon from the other day and decided to use it to make this. I added a little Sriracha to spice things up with the noodles.
0 HelpfulThe noodles were great, I think I will cut down on the carrots next time, there was a lot left in the bowl after dinner.
0 HelpfulI did the original version, but with veggie noodles instead of pasta. It was good. I kinda wanted the sauce to glaze a little more on the salmon, so I might use more sugar next time.
