How To Make Gordon Ramsay Teriyaki Salmon And Soba Noodles

  1. Make the sauce by whisking together the soy sauce, maple syrup, mirin, grated ginger, minced garlic, and sesame oil in a small bowl until well combined.
  2. Boil the noodles in a large pot of salted water according to the package directions (usually 4-5 minutes) until tender but chewy.
  3. Rinse the noodles immediately under cold running water in a colander to remove excess starch and stop the cooking process, then set aside.
  4. Prepare the salmon by patting the fillets dry with paper towels and seasoning them lightly with salt and pepper.
  5. Sear the fish by heating the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cooking the salmon skin-side down for 4 minutes until the skin is crispy.
  6. Flip and glaze by turning the fillets over, reducing the heat to medium, and pouring the teriyaki sauce mixture into the pan around the fish.
  7. Simmer the sauce for 3-4 minutes, spooning the thickening glaze over the salmon continuously until the fish is cooked through and shiny.
  8. Warm the vegetables by tossing the snap peas into the pan for the last minute of cooking just to soften them slightly.
  9. Serve the dish by dividing the cold or warm noodles among bowls, topping with a glazed salmon fillet, snap peas, and garnishing with green onions and sesame seeds.

Recipe Tips

  • Wash the soba vigorously. Soba noodles release a lot of starch. If you do not rinse them under cold water while rubbing them with your hands, they will turn into a gummy lump.
  • Watch the heat. The glaze contains sugar (from the maple syrup and mirin). It can go from caramelized to burnt very quickly, so keep the heat at medium once the sauce is in the pan.
  • Don’t overcook the salmon. The fish will continue to cook in the hot glaze. Take it off the heat when it is just starting to flake to keep it moist.
  • Dress the noodles. If serving the noodles warm, toss them with a spoonful of the sauce from the pan before plating so they absorb the flavor.

How To Store Leftovers Teriyaki Salmon And Soba Noodles?

  • In the Refrigerator Store the salmon and noodles in separate airtight containers for up to 2 days. Keeping them separate prevents the noodles from becoming soggy or absorbing all the sauce from the fish.
  • In the Freezer Freeze the cooked salmon in a freezer-safe container for up to 2 months. Do not freeze the soba noodles or snap peas, as their texture will become mushy and unappetizing upon thawing make a fresh batch of noodles when ready to eat the fish.

How To Reheat Leftovers Teriyaki Salmon And Soba Noodles?

  • The Stovetop Method (Best for Flavor) Place the salmon and any remaining sauce in a non-stick skillet over medium-low heat with a splash of water to loosen the glaze. Cover and heat for 3-4 minutes, then add the noodles to the pan for the last minute to warm them through.
  • The Microwave Method (Quickest) Place the salmon and noodles on a microwave-safe plate and cover them with a damp paper towel. Heat on medium power for 1-2 minutes the damp towel creates steam which keeps the soba noodles from drying out and becoming rubbery.
