Salmon Soba Noodles

Ingredients

Instructions

1. In a bowl, mix the soy sauce, mirin, sesame oil, maple syrup and sesame seeds.
2. Add the salmon and toss gently to coat. Let it marinate 5 minutes.
3. Bring a pot of water to a boil and cook the soba according to the package.
4. Drain and rinse under cold water to wash off the extra starch. Set aside.
5. Spread the salmon in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Keep the marinade left in the bowl. Single layer. They need personal space to caramelize.
6. Cook at 400°F for 6 to 8 minutes, until lightly caramelized and cooked through. Times vary with the size of your pieces and your air fryer, so check early.
7. Heat oil in a large skillet.
8. Add the onion and garlic and cook 1 minute, until softened.
9. Add the chopped white parts of the green onion and stir.
10. Pour in the leftover marinade and let it simmer 1 minute.
11. Add the soba and toss until evenly coated.
12. Cook 1 to 2 minutes so the noodles soak up the sauce.
13. Move the noodles to bowls.
14. Top with the salmon bites.
15. Finish with sesame seeds and sliced green onion tops.
16. Serve right away. Soba waits for no one, and it gets clingy if you make it.
