Ginger Peanut Alaska Salmon Noodle Bowls (Alaska From Scratch)
We love this recipe by Alaska From Scratch!
Though we were missing a few ingredients, which is typical in remote Alaska (especially in the wintertime), this recipe really hit the spot. We prepared this for dinner with friends and each of them asked for the recipe so they could make it at home. Once your ingredients are prepped and the fish has been marinated, it only takes 10 minutes to sauté the fish, cook the veggies, and combine everything into one flavorful dish. I was amazed at how easy and delicious this was! We can’t wait to try it with locally grown produce this summer.
Ginger Peanut Alaska Salmon Noodle Bowls (Alaska from Scratch)
Ingredients
- 1⁄3 cup soy sauce
- 1⁄4 cup water
- Juice of half a lime
- 1⁄4 cup toasted sesame oil 3 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 4 cloves garlic
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh ginger
- 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 fillet of Shoreline Wild King or Coho Salmon (approx. 1 lb)
- 3 tablespoons peanut butter
- 14 ounces rice noodles
- 1 tablespoon avocado or vegetable oil
- 1 large red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 cup snow peas
- 1⁄2 cup roasted salted peanuts, chopped
- 1⁄2 cup sliced green onions
- 1⁄2 cup cilantro, chopped
- To serve: 1 lime, cut into wedges and Sriracha sauce
Instructions
- Make the sauce: In a blender, combine the soy sauce, water, lime juice, sesame oil, honey, vinegar, garlic, ginger, hoisin sauce, and peanut butter. Blend until smooth.
- Marinate the salmon: Place the salmon fillets in a resealable plastic bag and pour one-third of the sauce over the salmon to coat. (Reserve the remaining sauce.) Seal and marinate in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Meanwhile, begin preparing the rice noodles according to package directions.
- Cook the salmon: In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Remove the salmon fillets from the marinade, shaking off the excess, and place them in the hot skillet. Sear for 3 minutes, or until browned on the bottom, and then turn and cook for 2 minutes for medium. Transfer the salmon to a plate and allow to rest.
- Add the vegetables and noodles: Add the bell pepper and snow peas to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through and tender-crisp. Add the reserved sauce to the skillet and heat through. Add the noodles to the pan and toss to coat with the sauce.
- Plate, garnish and serve: Distribute the noodles and vegetables evenly among 6 serving bowls. Top each bowl with a salmon fillet. Sprinkle each plate generously with peanuts, green onions, and cilantro. Serve with lime wedges and Sriracha sauce on the side.
