Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces (6 ounces each) Salmon fillet
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 8 ounces Rice noodles
- 1 medium (julienned) Cucumber
- 1 medium (julienned) Carrot
- 1 medium (julienned) Red bell pepper
- 0.25 cups (chopped, optional) Cilantro
- 1 tablespoons (toasted) Sesame seeds
- 3 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoons Sesame oil
- 1 teaspoons Honey
- 1 clove (minced) Garlic
- 1 teaspoons (grated) Ginger
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Season the salmon fillets with salt and black pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the salmon for 1-2 minutes per side.
Transfer the seared salmon to a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily. Set aside to cool slightly, then flake into bite-sized pieces.
Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.
Prepare the vegetables by julienning the cucumber, carrot, and red bell pepper. Chop the cilantro, if using.
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger to make the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked and cooled rice noodles, julienned vegetables, and flaked salmon.
Pour the dressing over the noodle salad and toss gently to ensure everything is evenly coated.
Sprinkle the toasted sesame seeds and chopped cilantro (if using) over the salad for garnish.
Serve the salmon noodle salad immediately or chill in the refrigerator for up to 1 hour before serving for a cold dish.
