  • 4 tablespoon mirin
  • 4 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
  • 4 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 4 teaspoon sesame oil, divided
  • 1 pound skin-on salmon, cut into 4 equal portions

  • 5 green onions, sliced on a diagonal
  • 1/2 tablespoon black sesame seeds
  • 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds

Preparation

In a medium bowl, mix together chili garlic sauce, mirin, vinegar, soy sauce and 2 teaspoons sesame oil. Pour over salmon in a shallow baking pan and marinate 10 to 15 minutes. Flip and marinate 10 to 15 minutes more. Preheat oven to 400° F.

While salmon is baking, cook noodles according to package directions. Drain well and toss with green onions, sesame seeds, salt and remaining 2 teaspoons sesame oil. Divide noodles between four plates and top with salmon.
