How to Make Sesame Salmon Over Noodles

  1. Rinse and pat 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets dry.
  2. Place salmon fillets in a non-metallic container.
  3. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon lime juice, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 tablespoon chopped cilantro, and 1/2 tablespoon sesame seeds.
  4. Pour the marinade over the salmon fillets, ensuring they're fully coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or up to 2 hours for maximum flavor.
  5. Cook noodles according to package directions. Set aside.
  6. Heat a medium non-stick skillet over medium heat.
  7. Place the marinated salmon fillets and marinade in the skillet.
  8. Cover and cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork. Flip the salmon halfway through cooking.
  9. Serve the cooked salmon and sauce immediately over the noodles.
  10. Garnish with 1 tablespoon chopped green onions and the remaining 1/2 tablespoon sesame seeds.
