Ingredients

  • 8 ounces soba noodles
  • 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 3 green onions, sliced
  • 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Lime wedges, for serving (optional)

How to Make Salmon Soba Noodle Bowl

  1. Start by cooking the soba noodles. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add the soba noodles and cook according to package instructions, usually about 4-5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
  2. While the noodles are cooking, season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy. Carefully flip the fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  3. Once done, remove the salmon from the skillet and let it rest for a minute. Drizzle the soy sauce and sesame oil over the salmon fillets.
  4. In the same skillet, add the cooked soba noodles. Toss them in the remaining oil and any pan drippings for added flavor. Add half of the sliced green onions and stir to combine.
  5. To serve, divide the soba noodles among bowls, top with the salmon fillets, and sprinkle with the remaining green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with lime wedges on the side for an extra zesty kick.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Ensure not to overcook the salmon; it should remain moist and flaky.
  • Rinse the soba noodles well after cooking to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Adjust the soy sauce according to your taste preference; you can add more for a stronger flavor.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute salmon with grilled chicken or tofu for a different protein.
  • Add vegetables like steamed bok choy, bell peppers, or snap peas for extra crunch and nutrition.
  • For a spicy kick, drizzle with sriracha or add chili flakes.

What to Serve With It

  • A side of edamame sprinkled with sea salt
  • A light cucumber salad with rice vinegar
  • Miso soup for a traditional touch
  • Fresh fruit or a simple sorbet for dessert

Storage and Reheating

This Salmon Soba Noodle Bowl is best enjoyed fresh, but leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. To reheat, gently warm the noodles and salmon in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water or soy sauce to prevent drying out.
