Sesame Noodle Salad with Hot Honey Salmon

I wasn’t planning on sharing this recipe with you this week, I had something else planned but this salad has been such a great staple our house for many years and I’ve made it so many times over the past few weeks that I felt it was only right to share with you on here. It’s quick, it’s easy and it’s incredibly delicious.

Step 1

Start with the salmon as that can happily sit and keep warm whilst you do the rest (not that it will take you long anyway!). Heat the oven to 180°C. Lay 2 salmon fillets on a tray. Drizzle with olive oil, salt, 1 tbsp honey and 1 tsp chilli flakes. Use the back of a spoon (or your hands) to massage it in. Pop into the oven for 8-10 minutes until they are cooked to your liking. I like them just cooked but perfectly flaky when I nudge them with a knife.

Notes

Noodles: also known as soba noodles, these buckwheat ones are delicious here. They are nutty and go so nicely with the dressing. But any noodles work - rice noodles (the wide flat ones) would be great or even egg noodles. Thin rice vermicelli noodles would also be good, I love them in a salad.

Make this recipe even easier: You can buy packets of hot smoked salmon from the supermarket, Marks and Spencer make great ones (why is everything they do so delicious?!). Or some shredded rotisserie chicken would also be v good here if you cant face turning the oven on.

Variations: Use whatever veg you have, grated carrot, shredded cabbage - the Chinese variety, peas, radishes. I would say the cucumber is a non negotiatiable - but you do want to slice it as thinly as possible. I also always add edamame beans - I always have them in the freezer to throw in salads, very useful!

Make it veggie: Hot honey tofu would be good! Cut the firm tofu into planks and then fry until crisp. Then add honey and chilli in the last few minutes so it bubbles and thickens to coat the tofu. I also like to do this with halloumi.

Air fry the salmon: instead of the oven, air fry the salmon at 180c for 10 minutes or until cooked through. You can also pan fry but I do it in the oven as it’s totally hands off and then you can use that time to whip up the rest.

How to get your children to eat it too: To make this family friendly I tend to just make everything separate and I do rice noodles or a little steamed rice for the children and less chilli on the salmon.

If you want to double the recipe: just double everything and on you go.

What to do with leftovers: the salad keeps well as the noodles don’t turn mushy so it’s a good one to make ahead. The salmon is delicious cold too. It will happily sit in the fridge for 2-3 days.
