SOY, ORANGE & SESAME SALMON
Mar 01, 2023An easy fish recipe is such a good one to have up your sleeve. Nutritious as it is delicious, this salmon meal can have you confident that you are ticking all of the boxes for a fully balanced meal. I often use ocean trout as well and you can sub in any seasonal vegetables you like. It also goes well with rice or sweet potato mash in place of the noodles.
Serves 4
INGREDIENTS
4 x fillets of salmon
4 tablespoons soy sauce/tamari
6 tablespoons orange juice
2 tablespoons honey
4 tablespoons sesame seeds
2 tablespoons grated ginger
2 x cloves garlic, crushed
1 x small chilli (seeds removed if preferred)
2 x bunch Bok choy, ends trimmed, washed
4 x handfuls of snow peas, ends and veins removed
2 bunch of asparagus/broccolini
2/3 packet/180g soba noodles
4 spring onion, finely chopped (to serve)
DIRECTIONS
Preheat the oven to 180⁰C. Combine the soy, orange juice, honey, sesame seeds, ginger, garlic and chilli in a small baking dish. Add the salmon fillets and turn to coat each fillet in the marinade. Pour the excess marinade into a small saucepan and then place the baking dish in the oven to cook for 15 minutes or until just cooked through. Heat the remaining marinade on low heat until it thickens (keep an eye on it so it does not burn).
Meanwhile, fill one small saucepan three quarters full with water and another small steamer saucepan to one third full with water and bring them both to the boil. Add the noddles to the fuller saucepan for 3-4 minutes (or follow packet intrsuctions for cooking time), before draining. Use a steamer saucepan to steam the vegetables in the other pot, adding the snow peas and asparagus/broccolini first for 3-4 minutes and the bok choy in the final minute.
Remove the salmon from the oven, place a fillet on a plate and serve with soba noodles and greens, spoon over the extra marinade and top with spring onion.
