  Quick View

  Ingredients

  • 1.5 pounds salmon
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 1/2 tablespoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons ginger (minced)
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 4 teaspoons lemon juice (fresh squeezed)
  • oil

  Instructions

  We begin about an hour before we want to eat. In a 1-cup glass measuring cup, we combine the soy sauce and sugar and heat for about 30 seconds in the microwave. We stir well to dissolve the sugar. We add the garlic and ginger and refrigerate for about 15 minutes.

  When the marinade is cool, we add the lemon juice. We rinse the salmon fillets and cut them into 4 portions. We place them in a resealable plastic bag and pour on the marinade. We seal the bag and refrigerate on a plate for about 30 minutes.

  We heat our oiled grill. We remove the salmon from the bag, pat dry with paper towels, and when the grill is hot enough, we add the salmon skin-side down and cook for about 4 minutes on the first side. We flip over with tongs and cook for another 3-4 minutes. We want the salmon just cooked through.

  Meanwhile, we pour the marinade into a pot and boil for a few minutes to be served on top of the salmon.

  Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sherry
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1 teaspoon sugar
  • pinch red pepper flakes
  • 1/2 cup peanuts
  • 1/2 tablespoon oil

  • 10 ounces broccoli (defrosted and cut into small pieces)
  • 1 14-ounce can baby corn (rinsed)
  • 8 ounces soba noodles

  Instructions

  We begin by pre-heating the oven to 350 degrees.

  We make the sauce for the stir fry by mixing the soy sauce, sesame oil, sherry, water, sugar, and red pepper flakes. We have all the ingredients for the stir fry ready in different bowls. The garlic and ginger together, the broccoli, the carrots, and the corn.

  We spread the peanuts on a cookie sheet and place in the oven for about 5 minutes. We want them fragrant. We heat a large pot of water over high heat, for the noodles. When the water is boiling, we add the soba noodles and cook according to the package directions.

  When the soba noodles are done and draining in our colander, we rinse and dry the pot. We add the oil, and heat over medium-high heat. When hot, we quickly add the garlic and ginger. We stir fry for 30 seconds, add the carrots, and stir for another minute. We add the broccoli and the corn and after a minute we add the cooked soba noodles. We add the sauce mixture to the vegetable and soba noodles, stir, and heat over medium-low heat for a few minutes.

  We serve with the toasted peanuts on top and some more red pepper flakes.
