How to Make Salmon Soba Noodle Bowl
- Cook the soba noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
- While the noodles are cooking, heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper.
- Place the salmon in the skillet, skin-side down, and cook for about 4-5 minutes. Flip the salmon and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. Remove from heat and let rest for a minute.
- In a small bowl, mix together the mayonnaise and sriracha to create the spicy mayo. Adjust the spice level to your preference.
- In a large bowl, toss the cooked soba noodles with the sesame oil and soy sauce until well coated.
- To serve, divide the soba noodles between two bowls. Top with the cooked salmon, drizzle with spicy mayo, and garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds.
Tips for the Best Results
- Always rinse soba noodles after cooking to prevent them from sticking together.
- For perfectly cooked salmon, use a meat thermometer; the internal temperature should reach 145°F.
- Feel free to marinate the salmon in soy sauce for 15-30 minutes before cooking for added flavor.
Easy Variations
- Substitute salmon with grilled chicken or tofu for a different protein option.
