Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Season salmon with 1/2 tsp soy sauce and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  2. Step 2: In a small bowl, mix 1 tbsp teriyaki sauce with 1 tsp honey. Brush this glaze over the salmon and bake for 12-15 minutes until the glaze caramelizes and the salmon flakes easily.
  3. Step 3: While salmon cooks, prepare noodles: Bring 2 cups water to a boil. Add sesame noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes until al dente. Drain and toss with 1 tbsp vegetable oil and 1/2 tsp sesame oil.
  4. Step 4: Steam broccoli for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp. Toss with remaining 1 tbsp teriyaki sauce and 1/2 tsp soy sauce.
  5. Step 5: Serve salmon atop noodles, garnished with sesame seeds and broccoli on the side.

How do I store leftover Teriyaki-Glazed Salmon with Sesame Noodles?

How do I scale Teriyaki-Glazed Salmon with Sesame Noodles for a different number of people?
