Ingredients
Scale
Salmon
- 2 skin-on salmon fillets (about 125g/4½ oz each)
- 1 small red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
- 1 tbsp mirin
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- ½ thumb-sized piece ginger, peeled and finely grated
- ½ small pack coriander, chopped
Vegetables & Noodles
- 140g mangetout
- 2 tbsp teriyaki sauce
- 300g straight-to-wok noodles
Instructions
- Prepare and marinate the salmon: Preheat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan) or gas mark 5. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the tray. In a small bowl, combine the chopped red chilli, mirin, soy sauce, grated ginger, and chopped coriander. Spoon this mixture evenly over the salmon fillets to marinate and infuse flavor.
- Roast the salmon: Place the tray in the oven and roast the salmon for 12-15 minutes until just cooked through, tender, and flaky. Keep an eye to avoid overcooking.
- Cook the mangetout: While the salmon roasts, heat a large frying pan or wok over medium-high heat. Add the mangetout and 1 tablespoon of water, then cook for about 2 minutes until the mangetout are tender yet retain some crunch.
- Combine noodles and sauce: Stir the teriyaki sauce into the mangetout and then add the straight-to-wok noodles. Toss everything together and heat through until the noodles are warmed and coated evenly with the sauce.
- Serve: Divide the teriyaki noodles and mangetout between two plates, then top each serving with a roasted salmon fillet. Garnish with any remaining coriander if desired and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra heat, keep some chilli seeds in or add a sprinkle of chilli flakes.
- Make sure not to overcook the salmon to keep it moist and tender.
- Use fresh mangetout for the best texture; frozen can be substituted but may be softer.
- You can substitute teriyaki sauce with hoisin or oyster sauce for a different flavor profile.
- If desired, garnish with extra fresh coriander and a wedge of lime for added zest.
