Why this recipe works
These Japanese-inspired teriyaki salmon noodles combine the bright, fresh flavour of salmon with comforting noodles and a glossy teriyaki sauce. The dish is quick to prepare, versatile, and feels like a complete meal because the protein and vegetables are included.
Salmon can be expensive, but this recipe stretches the fillets by slicing them or mixing them through the noodles if desired. It’s also adaptable to whatever noodles you have on hand—rice noodles are my go-to, but soba, udon, or egg noodles all work well.
This recipe is inspired by other salmon dishes and pairs nicely with simple sides if you want them, though it stands on its own as an all-in-one bowl.
Ingredients to make Salmon Noodles
- Salmon fillets – skinless fillets are easiest to work with; about 250g (2 fillets).
- Teriyaki sauce – ready-made makes this recipe fast; check labels if you need gluten-free.
- Sesame oil – adds a nutty aroma and taste.
- Broccoli – gives colour, texture, and nutrients; roughly 200g.
- Rice noodles – quick to cook and naturally gluten-free; around 200g.
- Sesame seeds – optional, for a finishing crunch.
- Parsley – optional, for colour and freshness.
See the recipe card below for exact quantities and nutrition details.
Substitutions
- Protein: Swap salmon for chicken, pork, another firm fish, tofu, or beef if you prefer.
- Vegetables: Replace or add to the broccoli with bok choy, carrots, bell peppers, edamame, or zucchini.
- Noodles: Use soba, udon, egg noodles, or even spaghetti in a pinch.
- Garnish: Try green onions, cilantro, or avocado instead of parsley.
Variations
- Spicy: Add sliced jalapeño or Sriracha to the sauce or drizzle on top.
- Deluxe: Add more veggies—mushrooms, peppers, bok choy—and extra toppings like toasted seeds or sliced chillies.
- Kid-friendly: Replace salmon with a protein your children prefer and swap vegetables for ones they’ll eat.
How to make Salmon Noodles
Step 1: Baste salmon fillets with 1 tbsp teriyaki sauce.
Step 2: Cook the salmon: air fryer 8 minutes at 205°C, oven 15 minutes at 200°C, or pan-fry about 10 minutes, until cooked through.
Step 3: Meanwhile, boil the rice noodles according to the packet instructions and drain.
Step 4: In a frying pan, heat 1 tbsp sesame oil and sauté the chopped broccoli for a few minutes until bright and tender-crisp.
Step 5: Add the drained noodles to the pan with the broccoli, then add the remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil and 3 tbsp teriyaki sauce. Toss until everything is evenly coated and heated through.
Step 6: Serve the noodles in bowls, top with the cooked salmon, and garnish with sesame seeds and parsley.
Hint: If you pan-fry the salmon, wipe the pan clean before cooking the vegetables and noodles to avoid leftover flavours burning.
Leftovers
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for 2–3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop or in the microwave until piping hot.
Recipe FAQs
The dish is a complete meal on its own, but roasted vegetables or a simple salad are nice accompaniments if you want extra sides.
Salmon pairs well with salads, roasted or steamed vegetables, rice, or noodles. It’s versatile and works with many side dishes.
Long noodles like rice noodles, soba, udon, or even spaghetti are all good choices depending on the texture you want.
Broccoli is a great option, but you can swap or add vegetables such as edamame, peppers, carrots, zucchini, or bok choy.
