Ingredients
- 1 9 ounce pack Sea Cuisine Teriyaki Salmon Fillets
- 8 ounces egg noodles or ramen noodles
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic pressed
- 1 ½ tablespoons ginger paste or grated
- 3 scallions thinly sliced (greens and white separated)
- 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon EACH: toasted sesame oil AND fish sauce
- 2 teaspoons oyster sauce
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- Sesame seeds for serving
Instructions
- BOIL: Heat a large pot of water to boil. Prepare the noodles according to package directions. Time the noodles to cook so that they’re done once you start on the sauce. Drain the noodles in a sieve and set aside.
- SALMON: Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the salmon filets to the skillet and cook for 10-11 minutes, flipping halfway through until the salmon is done. Remove the salmon fillets to a plate and keep warm.
- TOSS NOODLES: When there are 2 minutes remaining for the noodles to be done, melt the butter in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic, ginger, and white portion of scallions and saute until fragrant, about 45-60 seconds. Season the ginger garlic mixture with the soy sauce, sesame oil, fish sauce, oyster sauce and sugar and stir to combine. Add the prepared noodles, stir to combine, let sit for 1 minute and sizzle in the pan, then toss, and continue to cook and toss for another 2 minutes. This gives the noodles a smoky, toasty flavor.
- SERVE: Sprinkle with green portion of scallions, sesame seeds, and serve noodles topped with prepared salmon fillets.
