Hoisin salmon noodles
Description
This salmon noodle recipe is a great light meal that takes no time to cook. Hoisin is a sweet sauce made from soy bean paste and Chinese five spice, so it's really fragrant.
Ingredients
- 4 x 125g/4oz salmon fillets, with skin left on
- 2 heaped tbsp hoisin sauce (from a jar or bottle)
- 150g/5½oz cherry tomatoes, halved
- 140g/5oz medium egg noodles
- 200g/7oz long-stemmed broccoli, trimmed
- freshly ground black pepper
- dark soy sauce, to serve (optional)
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 220C/200C Fan/Gas 7 and line a small, shallow ovenproof dish with kitchen foil.
- Place the salmon fillets into the dish, skin-side down, and brush generously with the hoisin sauce. Make sure the fillets are placed at least 5cm/2in apart from each other. Scatter the cherry tomatoes around them. Cook for 15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through.
- Meanwhile, prepare the noodles. Half-fill a saucepan with water and bring to the boil. Add the noodles, return to the boil and cook for 1 minute, stirring to separate the strands. Add the broccoli and cook for 3 more minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Divide the noodles and broccoli between four warmed plates. Top with the salmon fillets and scatter with the cherry tomatoes. Season with pepper and serve sprinkled with a little soy sauce, if using.
