Method
 

  1. In a bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic for the marinade.
  2. Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the marinade over, ensuring they are fully coated. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.

  4. Cook for 12-15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily and seeds turn golden.
  5. Cook the noodles according to package instructions, drain and set aside.
  6. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Stir-fry bell pepper, carrot, and broccoli for 5-7 minutes until tender-crisp.
  7. Add green onions, soy sauce, and sesame oil to the skillet, then toss in cooked noodles and mix until heated through.
  8. Serve the noodle mixture on plates and top each with a salmon fillet. Garnish with cilantro and serve with lime wedges.

Notes

For a vegetarian option, swap salmon with tofu or chicken. Use gluten-free tamari for a gluten-free version. Add seasonal veggies like snap peas or mushrooms to the mix for variety. Store leftovers separately in airtight containers and consume within 2 days. To reheat, gently warm the salmon in the oven and noodles in a skillet with water.
