Ingredients
- 200g Raw wild-caught sockeye salmon
- 85g Instant ramen noodles, dry
- 36g Salsa
- 100g Raw bok choy
- 15g Sriracha chili sauce
Method
- 1Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add instant ramen noodles and cook for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside, reserving a small amount of noodle water if needed.
- 2While noodles cook, pat the wild-caught sockeye salmon dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt and pepper on both sides.
- 3Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium-high heat. Lightly spray with cooking spray.
- 4Place salmon skin-side up in the hot pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving until the bottom develops a light golden crust.
- 5Flip the salmon carefully and cook for another 3-4 minutes until the flesh flakes easily with a fork. The internal temperature should reach 145°F (63°C).
- 6In a small bowl, combine 3 teaspoons of sriracha chili sauce with the 2 tablespoons of salsa to create the sweet chili glaze.
- 7During the last minute of salmon cooking, brush the glaze generously over the top of the salmon fillet.
- 8In the final minute of cooking, add the bok choy to the pan alongside the salmon. Toss lightly and cook until just wilted, about 1 minute.
- 9Transfer the cooked noodles to a serving bowl or plate. Top with the glazed salmon and sautéed bok choy.
- 10Drizzle any remaining pan juices and sweet chili glaze over the noodles. Serve immediately while hot.
