Preparation
Bake the salmon
- Preheat the oven to 450°F. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil.
- In a small bowl, combine the miso, honey and ⅔ of the garlic.
- Pat the salmon* dry. Arrange on a foil-lined sheet pan and brush with the miso-honey.
- Bake, 6 to 8 min., until cooked through.
- Switch the oven to broil, 1 to 2 min., if extra colour is desired.
Boil the noodles & vegetables
- Meanwhile, remove the bottom inch of the yu choy stems; chop.
- Add the noodles, yu choy and edamame to the pot of boiling water; stir gently to separate.
- Boil, 3 to 4 min., until the noodles are al dente and the vegetables are tender.
- Drain and toss with a drizzle of oil to prevent sticking. Reserve the pot.
Make the sauce & combine the noodles
- In the same pot, heat 2 tbsp butter (double for 4 portions) on medium-high.
- Add the remaining garlic and sauté, 30 sec. to 1 min., until fragrant.
- Add the spices, noodles, vegetables and a drizzle of oil.
- Cook, stirring often, 1 to 2 min., until warmed through and combined.
Plate your dish
- Divide the noodles between your plates.
- Top with the salmon.
- Garnish with the sesame seeds. Bon appétit!
*Health Canada recommends cooking fish to a minimum internal temperature of 70°C.
