Ingredients
- 2 salmon filets 2-4 medium size filets
- 1 pound Shrimp peeled and de-veined
- 1 stalk leek chopped
- 1 cup grape tomatoes halved
- 1 lemon juiced
- 1/3 cup mirin may sub other white wine
- 1 cup chicken broth may sub vegetable broth
Instructions
Step 1 - Prep Your Veggies
- Chop leeks into strips no more than 1/4" inch wide (use both the green and white part). Cut grape tomatoes in half and set aside.
- Add leeks to a large sauté pan with a bit of cooking oil on medium-low heat. Cook about 5-10 minutes until soft.
Cup of Yum
Step 2 - Build Your Broth
- Add shrimp (peeled and de-veined) and tomatoes to sauté pan with leeks.
- Add 1/3 cup Mirin, zest of half a lemon, and 1 cup chicken broth. Sprinkle salt & pepper to taste.
- Simmer for 10-12 minutes. If liquid begins to boil, reduce heat.
Step 3 - Cook Your Salmon
- Place salmon filets skin side up on a lightly greased frying pan over medium heat.
- Once salmon is cooked halfway through, flip so skin side is facing down. You will see a distinct line in the middle of the filet when it’s time to flip (about 7-10 minutes).
- Turn off heat, cover, and let salmon filets steam ten minutes for medium doneness. (If you like your salmon medium-well, add 2-3 extra minutes).
Step 4 - Put it All Together
- Prepare your choice noodles according to directions on box. We usually do this step while the salmon cooks.
- Add juice of one lemon to the finished broth. Place salmon on top of noodles and finish with shrimp, broth, and veggies.
