Pan-fried fresh salmon with a sweet and zingy maple teriyaki sauce served with healthy soba noodles. A perfect easy mid-week meal that comes together in next to no time.
Put a pan of water on ready to boil for the noodles.
Heat up a little oil, then lightly pan-fry the ginger, garlic and chili together in a wok or deep-sided frying pan. After a couple of minutes or so, add the soy sauce, maple syrup, mirin and lime juice from half of the lime and let it bubble away and reduce.
Meanwhile, heat up a good drizzle of oil in a griddle pan or frying pan and pan-fry the salmon for a couple of minutes on each side or until just cooked through.
While the salmon is cooking, add the noodles to the boiling water and cook according to the packet instructions (they only take a few minutes).
Add the cooked salmon to the pan of sauce and spoon some of the ‘bits’ over it. Take it off the heat and put aside for a moment while you get everything else ready.
Drain the noodles, tip them back into the pan, then stir in the sesame oil and most of the coriander.
Share the noodles between two large bowls, carefully lift a piece of salmon onto the top of each and drizzle over the rest of the sauce. Squeeze over more lime juice to taste, then garnish with the reserved coriander. Serve immediately (something green like asparagus or green beans on the side is nice!)
