Ingredients

  • 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets, skin-on
  • 8 ounces of spaghetti or your favorite noodles
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon lime juice (optional)

How to Make Crispy Salmon with Noodles

  1. Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
  2. In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, and lime juice (if using). Set aside.
  3. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper on both sides.
  4. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy.
  5. Carefully flip the salmon and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, or until cooked through and flaky. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  6. In the same skillet, add the cooked noodles and pour the soy-ginger sauce over them. Toss to combine and heat through for 1-2 minutes.
  7. Serve the noodles topped with the crispy salmon, garnished with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds.

Tips for the Best Results

  • Use a non-stick skillet to prevent the salmon from sticking.
  • Make sure the skillet is hot before adding the salmon to achieve crispy skin.
  • Adjust the amount of ginger and garlic according to your taste preference.
  • If you prefer your salmon less crispy, reduce the cooking time slightly.

Easy Variations

  • Substitute salmon with skinless chicken thighs for a different protein.
  • Add steamed vegetables like broccoli or snap peas for added nutrition and color.
  • Use whole wheat noodles or zucchini noodles for a healthier twist.
  • Experiment with different sauces, such as teriyaki or hoisin, for varied flavors.

What to Serve With It

  • Steamed bok choy or spinach for a nutritious side.
  • A light cucumber salad dressed with rice vinegar.
  • Miso soup for a comforting starter.
  • Sliced avocado for a creamy contrast.

Storage and Reheating

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in a skillet over low heat or in the microwave until warmed through. The salmon may lose some crispiness during reheating.
