Ingredients

1 x 225 gram portion/ 1 x 0.5 lb. portion Fresh Salmon
3 tablespoons Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon lemon juice
2 teaspoons Honey
1 teaspoon Sambel Olek (or chilli paste)
1 teaspoon Crushed garlic
1 teaspoon Grated ginger
1 packet Wokka Noodles
2 fresh Green onions/scallions
2 tablespoons Dried shallots
2 tablespoons Fried Garlic Bits

Instructions

Heat a Non-Stick Pan medium to high heat and place salmon flat side down. Cook for a couple of minutes each side until golden and crispy.
Glaze: add light soy, lemon juice, sambel olek, garlic, ginger and honey to a jug and wisk to combine.
Spoon ¼ of the glaze over the salmon and move salmon around the pan to soak it up.
Break up the noodles and add them to the pan, using tongs to separate. Heat through for 2 to 3 minutes on medium to high. Pour over remainder of glaze onto the noodles, tossing through with the tongs. Add the fresh shallot, dried shallot and dried onion, and stir through.
Remove noodles from pan and arrange in a bowl. Add salmon on top, and drizzle any remaining glaze. Add additional shallot and or onion flakes if desired and serve immediately

Notes

Cooking Salmon Tip: Use a non stick pan if possible and you wont need any oil. Preheat the pan on high heat and reduce to medium high when you put the salmon in. Cook evenly on all sides until golden and crispy.
Noodles: I love Wokka Noodles because they’re quick and easy. Hokkien, Singapore and wholegrain. If you can't find these in the Asian aisle at your supermarket, any ready made noodles will work.
1. Soft (pre-cooked) noodles include: Hokkien Noodles (my favourite), Udon Noodles (also excellent and quite substantial), and Egg Noodles
2. Hard noodles that will need to be pre cooked in water first include: soba, ramen, and rice noodles.
Sambel Olek: This is a chilli paste found in the Asian aisle of the supermarket. Basically any chilli paste will work if you can't find this one.
Honey: You can substitute honey for Maple Syrup, or your choice of granulated sweetener such as Stevia or Monkfruit if you want to avoid honey..
Lemon: Fresh lemon is best for this recipe, but you can use the lemon that comes in a bottle if that's all you have to hand.
Dried Shallots/Fried Garlic Bits: I recommend buying these and keeping them on hand, especially if you make alot of Asian dishes and they last for ages.
Garlic/Ginger: I used bottled garlic and ginger for the convenience of creating a 15 minute meal. Feel free to use fresh ginger and garlic.
