Ingredients
- 2 salmon about 6-8 oz each and up to 1 1/2-inch thick, fillets
- 6-8 oz spinach (or baby bok choy, yu choy sum)
- 6 oz dried soba noodles
- salt
- black pepper
- neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
For the Dressing
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons honey
- 2 teaspoons water hot
- 3/4 teaspoons ginger grated
Instructions
- Remove salmon fillets from the fridge to come closer to room temperature.
- Cut spinach (or baby bok choy, yu choy sum) into 2 1/2-inch long sections. Blanch in boiling water quickly until vegetables are cooked to your liking. Transfer vegetables to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking. Then drain and gently squeeze out some excess water. Set aside
- Cook dried soba noodles according to package instructions. Then rinse under cold water thoroughly to remove sliminess and stickiness. Drain and set aside.
- Mix together all ingredients to make the dressing. Taste and adjust to your liking. Add some black pepper to taste. Set aside
- Place a pan over medium to medium-high heat. Once the pan is hot, add some oil to coat the bottom. Pat dry the salmon fillets and place them skin side down on the pan.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes to let the skin turn golden and crisp up. Then season the top with some salt and pepper, flip over and cook for another 1-2 minutes. Adjust heat as needed and aim for medium-cooked salmon.
- Place soba noodles, vegetables and salmon in serving bowls/plates. Serve immediately with the ginger dressing.
