Ingredients
- Fresh salmon fillets
- Miso Paste
- Soy Sauce
- Honey or maple syrup
- Soba noodles
- Baby bok choy
- Carrots
- Bell peppers
- Olive oil
- Broth (vegetable or chicken)
- Green onions (for garnish)
- Sesame seeds (for garnish)
- Chili oil (optional)
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix together 2 tablespoons of miso paste, 1 tablespoon of soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup to prepare the marinade.
- Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over them. Let them sit for at least 15 minutes, or up to 1 hour in the fridge for deeper flavor.
- Cook the soba noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside. You can toss them with a little sesame oil to prevent sticking.
- In a large pan, heat a drizzle of olive oil over medium heat. Add sliced carrots and bell peppers, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until they start to soften. Then add chopped bok choy and cook for another 2-3 minutes until wilted.
- In the same pan, push the vegetables to the side and add the marinated salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, then carefully flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- In a large bowl, add the cooked noodles, sautéed vegetables, and salmon. Pour in some broth for additional flavor and moisture, tossing everything gently together.
- Serve your Miso Salmon Noodle Bowl warm, garnished with sliced green onions, sesame seeds, and a drizzle of extra soy sauce or chili oil if desired.
