The Perfect Salmon
When it comes to Japanese-style salmon, the key is to find the freshest and highest quality fish possible. Look for wild-caught salmon, preferably from the Pacific Northwest. This region is known for its sustainably caught salmon and produces some of the best quality fish in the world. Make sure to ask your fishmonger for the best cut for this dish – ideally, you want a thick fillet with the skin on.
Marinade Magic
To enhance the natural flavors of the salmon, a simple yet flavorful marinade is used. The main ingredients for the marinade are soy sauce, mirin, and sesame oil, which create a perfect balance of savory, sweet, and nutty flavors. The salmon is marinated for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to infuse into the fish.
Stir-Fry Perfection
While the salmon is marinating, it's time to prepare the noodle stir-fry. In a hot wok or skillet, stir-fry your choice of vegetables such as bell peppers, mushrooms, and carrots. Add in some garlic and ginger for an extra depth of flavor. Once the vegetables are cooked to your liking, add in the noodles. Japanese-style noodles like soba or udon work best, but you can use any type of noodles you have on hand. Toss everything together with some soy sauce and sesame oil for a deliciously fragrant stir-fry.
Bringing It All Together
Now it's time to cook the marinated salmon. Heat up a pan on medium-high heat and cook the salmon, skin-side down, for about 3-4 minutes on each side. This will create a crispy skin while keeping the inside moist and flaky. Once the salmon is fully cooked, serve it on top of the noodle stir-fry and garnish with some green onions and sesame seeds for added color and flavor.
In just a few simple steps, you can create a stunning and delicious Japanese-style salmon with noodle stir-fry. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or for impressing guests at a dinner party. So next time you're craving some Japanese cuisine, why not give this recipe a try? Your taste buds (and your Instagram feed) will thank you.
