Ingredients
Salmon & Noodles
- 2 salmon fillets (approx. 130g each)
- Low-calorie cooking spray
- 2 nests medium egg noodles
- 1 red pepper, deseeded and sliced
- 1 yellow pepper, deseeded and sliced
- 1 pak choi, chopped
- 1 bunch spring onions, chopped
- 150g mangetout
- 150g sugar snap peas
- 1 lime
Teriyaki Sauce
- 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp granulated sweetener
- 3 tbsp tomato purée
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, finely grated
- Juice of 1 lime
- ½ tsp dried chilli flakes (or 1 tsp for more spice)
- 300ml boiling water
- 1 vegetable stock cube
Method
- Spray a wok or large frying pan with cooking spray and heat to medium. Add ginger and garlic; fry for 2–4 minutes until aromatic. Stir in soy sauce, fish sauce, rice vinegar, sweetener, tomato purée, lime juice, and chilli flakes. Dissolve stock cube in boiling water, then pour into the pan. Increase heat to high and cook for 10 minutes, stirring often, until reduced.
- While sauce reduces, pour boiling water over noodles in a large bowl. Leave to soak. Preheat oven to 200°C.
- Pour reduced sauce into a jug (reserve half for salmon, half for noodles). Wipe the pan, spray again, and heat until very hot. Place salmon skin-side down and cook undisturbed for 5 minutes, until edges curl. Carefully add half the sauce—it will bubble. Baste salmon, then transfer pan to oven for 10 minutes.
- Drain noodles. Spray a wok with cooking spray, heat to medium. Add peppers and spring onions; cook 5–6 minutes. Add mangetout and sugar snap peas; cook 3–4 minutes. Add noodles and reserved sauce; stir well. Add Pak choi and reduce to a simmer.
- Check salmon. If not cooked, top each fillet with a lime slice, baste with sauce, and return to oven for 5 minutes until sticky and glazed.
- Plate noodles first. Top with salmon and spoon over sauce. Garnish with lime wedges.
