Asian salmon with peanut sesame noodles

By Miss Friday's Feast

It’s so quick to prepare and the salmon doesn’t even need marinating as the flavours are so strong, and when cooked in the tin foil parcel it traps all of the steam and flavour in, this also keeps the salmon really moist.

Preparation

Step 1

Pre-heat the oven to 200°C

Step 2

Combine the fish sauce, sesame oil, soy, lime, coriander, garlic, ginger and chilli in a bowl, mix well.

Step 3

Place each salmon fillet on a piece of tin foil (large enough to wrap around the salmon with extra space at the top to allow the steam to circulate).

Step 4

Divide the marinade between the two pieces of salmon, pouring over the top.

Step 5

Pinch the tin foil together at the top and sides, so that there are no gaps (you don’t want the steam to get out). Place the parcels on a baking try in the oven and cook for 20-25 minutes.

Step 6

When the salmon has 10 minutes left to cook, combine the peanut butter, sesame oil and soy sauce in a bowl, mix well.

Step 7

Heat the olive oil in a pan on a medium heat (it’s important not to use a high heat, otherwise the peanut butter will burn and stick to the pan). Add the mixture to the pan and heat until the peanut butter has melted into a liquid.

Step 8

Add the noodles and mix well, ensuring that all of the noodles are coated, once the noodles are warmed through remove them from the pan. Place in a large noodle bowl and garnish with the chilli, coriander and sesame seeds.

Step 9

Remove the salmon fillets from their parcels and place on a plate, pouring over any liquid from the tin foil. Serve immediately with fresh wedges of lime.
