Thai Salmon Noodles

This is one of mine and Mikes favourite quick and easy Asian meals. It looks like a lot of ingredients but just try it once and you will realise it is actually really simple and totally delicious.

2 salmon steaks

1/2 broccoli 
15 spouts / or other green veg (this time I used asparagus)
2 cloves garlic

3 tbsp olive oil
1/4 cup tahini 
1 tbsp honey
1 lime (grated and juiced)
1 tbsp grated ginger
3 tbsp soy sauce 
1 tbsp hoisin sauce
Pinch pepper flakes

2 nests of noodles 

Bunch coriander
4 salad onions 
Sesame seeds

This seems like a lot of ingredients for one meal however quite a lots of it is stuff you are likely to just have in your cupboard, especially if you are big Asian food lovers like mike and I, and if your not, try this dish and then you will be. Feel free to miss the odd thing out or substitute where necessary due to pantry supplies or dietary requirements.

1. Turn oven to 180-200oC. Put broccoli florets and halved Brussels spouts (asparagus) in baking try with olive oil and crushed garlic. Bake for 15mins.
2. While they are roasting make the sauce by simply combining all the sauce ingredients together, set aside in a big bowl and add chopped coriander (saving some for garnish) and chopped spring onions.
4. Put a pan on to boil for the noodles.
3. When the broccoli and sprouts have had 15mins push them over to on side in the tray and add the salmon steaks and cover the salmon in hoisin sauce. Put back in the oven for another 15-20mins until salmon is cooked.
6. In the last few mins but the noodles on according to the packet usually 3-4 mins.
7. Add the noodles and vegetables to the bowl with the sauce, spring onions and coriander and give a good mix. 
Divide into bowls and carefully take the skin off the salmon and break up into bite size pieces and put on top of the noodles, garnish with coriander and sesame seeds. 
8. Eat.

This seems like a really faffy recipe at first but once you've done it once you realise it's really simple: veggies, sauce, salmon, noodles, mix altogether!
