Honey Sesame Salmon With Rice Noodles And Asparagus Recipes

SOY-HONEY GLAZED SALMON WITH ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add asparagus, cover, and steam until slightly tender, 2 to 4 minutes.
• Whisk soy sauce and honey together in a bowl until glaze is smooth.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and brush with olive oil.
• Place salmon fillet and asparagus on the prepared baking sheet; season with salt and pepper.
• Broil in the preheated oven for 5 minutes. Drizzle 2/3 of the glaze over salmon and asparagus. Broil until fish flakes easily with a fork, 3 to 5 minutes. Drizzle remaining glaze over salmon.

SESAME SALMON BOWLS

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine rice vinegar, sugar and salt; stir to dissolve the sugar. Add the rice and 1 3/4 cups water, and mix well. Bring to a boil over high heat, then cover and reduce heat to low. Cook until rice is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed, about 20 minutes.
• In a small bowl, toss salmon with 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil and season with salt. Once rice is tender (after about 20 minutes), arrange salmon in an even layer on top of rice. Cover and steam over low heat until fish is cooked to medium, about 12 minutes longer.
• Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine soy sauce, white vinegar, safflower oil, scallions, ginger and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon sesame oil. Mix well, and season with salt.
• Scoop salmon and rice into bowls. Top each with some cucumbers, coleslaw mix and avocado. Drizzle with the vinaigrette. Top with nori, if using.

HONEY SESAME SALMON WITH RICE NOODLES AND ASPARAGUS

Steps:

• To prepare the marinade, in a medium bowl, combine the sesame oil, honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, garlic, a pinch of ginger and whisk to blend.
• Place salmon in a baking dish, skin-side down. Pour the marinade over the salmon, cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
• Bake the salmon uncovered for 15 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit in the same baking dish in which you marinated it. Remove the salmon from the oven, pour the marinade from the baking dish into a small saucepan.
• Preheat the broiler.
• Slide the spatula under the salmon the remove the skin. Broil salmon (without the marinade or the skin) for about 5 minutes (or more, depending on your broiler), until it caramelizes nicely. Remove from pan.
• While the salmon is broiling, reduce the sauce (the marinade) in the sauce pan on the stove top by boiling it down a little bit. Be careful - don't over do it - reduce it just a bit to have enough to pour over each of 4 serving of fish.
• While your salmon is baked and broiled in the oven, prepare rice noodles and asparagus.
• Cook very thin rice noodles according to package instructions, drain.
• Place asparagus in a glass baking dish, season with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
• Bake in the preheated oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit (at the same time with salmon, but in a separate dish), until soft but still crispy.
• Place a scoop of rice noodles in the center of each serving plate.
• Add several sprigs of asparagus on the side.
• Place a serving of salmon on top of noodles. Pour the condensed sauce on top.

SALMON WITH SESAME, SOY & GINGER NOODLES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. In a small jug, whisk together the soy, rice wine or mirin, stem ginger and syrup, and garlic. Line a roasting tin with baking parchment and put the salmon in it. Pour over half the sauce, then bake for 15 mins until the salmon is cooked through.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pan of water to the boil. Add the noodles and cook following pack instructions, then drain well.
• In a small frying pan, lightly toast the sesame seeds for 1 min, then add to the cooked noodles (reserving a sprinkle for the top). Pour the remaining sauce over the noodles, plus any from the roasting tin, and toss together. Serve with the salmon, scattered with the chopped spring onions and remaining sesame seeds.

SESAME ASPARAGUS AND NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the noodles.
• Toast the sesame seeds by placing them in a small skillet over medium heat. Swirl the pan.
• Occasionally until the seeds begin to smoke and become fragrant. Immediately pour them into a small bowl to cool.
• Combine the sesame oil, tamari, vegetable stock, wine, and chili oil in a measuring cup and set aside. This will be the sauce for the noodles.
• When the water is at a rolling boil, cook the noodles until tender yet chewy.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook 1 minute. Add the asparagus and stir-fry 1 minute. Pour in the water and cover the pan. Cook until the asparagus pieces are tender, about 5 minutes.
• Drain the noodles and return them to the pot. Pour on the prepared sauce and toss with tongs to coat.
• 7. Remove the cover from the asparagus. Pour on the teaspoon of tamari and the scallions and toss for 1 minute. Serve on the noodles. Garnish with sesame seeds.
