INGREDIENTS :

Asian noodles:

• 5 green onions, chopped
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• ¼ c. honey
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds
• ¼ c. soy sauce
• ¼ c. chicken stock
• 2 c. snow peas end trimmed (around 60 snow peas)
• 1 tsp Sriracha sauce, substitute with any other hot sauce if you don’t have Sriracha
• ½ pound pasta, preferably Fettuccine (half a pound)
• 2 tbsp sesame oil
• 10 button mushrooms, sliced, or 1 Portobello mushroom, sliced

Asian salmon:

• 1 lb. salmon
• 2 tbsp cooking oil
• 1 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tbsp honey
• salt & pepper

DIRECTIONS :

Asian Noodles:

Step 1: In a large frying pan, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. To the pan, add the chopped green onions and sesame seeds once the oil is hot. Cook for about 2 to 3 minutes, stirring often. Next, add the sliced mushrooms and continue to cook for 2 minutes more. Take the pan off the heat and add the soy sauce, honey, chicken stock, sesame oil, and Sriracha. Stir well.

Step 2: Boil the snow peas in another pan for about 3 to 5 minutes until tender but still crunchy. Drain when done.

Step 3: Following the package directions, cook the pasta in a large pan with boiling water until al dente. Drain the pasta when done.

Step 4: In the large frying pan with the vegetables, add the drained snow peas and pasta. Toss well and heat over medium-low heat.

Asian salmon:

Step 5: Prepare the broiler and preheat it.

Step 6: Generously season the non-skin side of the salmon with salt and pepper. To a hot large skillet, drizzle the oil. Then, add the salmon, skin-side up, and sear for about 4 minutes. To prevent the salmon from sticking to the bottom of the skillet, make sure to move the salmon around.

Step 7: Turn the fish over to the skin side after 4 minutes and continue to sear the other side for another 3 minutes over high heat. Feel free to remove the skin of the salmon at this point if you do not like it.

Step 8: Whisk the honey and soy sauce. To soften the honey, heat it a little in the microwave or on the stovetop. Then, brush the salmon with the mixture and broil for about 3 minutes. Midway through broiling, brush the salmon with more sauce if desired. Broil the salmon until the top is slightly charred.

Step 9: Serve the salmon right away or keep it covered until ready to serve. Keep the salmon covered for a few minutes if it is slightly undercooked in the middle to let the salmon continue cooking. Enjoy!
