(Remaining ingredients - peanut butter, miso paste, water and sesame seeds will be added during cooking.) (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)

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.
Great 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.
The noodles were great, I think I will cut down on the carrots next time, there was a lot left in the bowl after dinner.
lots of LO noodles! maybe add an egg in the morning?
I 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.
Loved the noodles, thought the salmon might do better marinated first? Overall a solid meal that we would make again.
