SALMON, SOBA NOODLE & WASABI PEA SALAD

If you like salmon, you’re going to adore this salad! It’s really easy to make and is ADDICTIVE!!! Feel free to swap the salmon for chicken, beef, pork or tofu.

Serves 2

Ingredients:

Salmon

• 2 pieces salmon, 150g approx.

• 2 tablespoons tamari or soy sauce

• 2 tablespoons pure maple syrup

• 1 tablespoon water

  Salad

• 180g soba noodles (2 bundles)

• 3 spring onions, finely chopped

• 1/2 bunch of coriander, roughly chopped

• 1 cup edamame beans, thawed

• 1 tablespoon black sesame seeds (or toasted white)

• 1 avocado, sliced

• 1/3 cup wasabi peas, crushed

• Pickled ginger (to serve, optional)

  Dressing:

• 2 tablespoons mayonnaise

• 1 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari

• 1 tablespoon sriracha

• 1 teaspoon water

Method:

1. Place the salmon pieces in a bowl and combine them with the soy sauce, maple syrup and water. Stir to coat. Place a medium fry pan onto medium heat. Cook salmon for approx 3 mins on each side (or to your liking). Remove and set aside

2. Cook the soba noodles as per packet instructions. Remove, run cold water through and set aside. You can run a little more cold water through them before adding them to the salad, if they become sticky

3. Dressing: Combine all ingredients. If the dressing is a little thick, add drop by drop of water until it’s thinner.

4. In a large bowl, add the soba noodles, edamame, spring onion, coriander, avocado, and black sesame seeds and gently combine. Drizzle over the dressing and toss together. Serve in 2 smaller bowls.

5. Break the salmon into smaller pieces and lay them on top of the salad. Sprinkle the crushed wasabi peas and top with pickled ginger.
