Seared Salmon & Green Tea Noodle Salad Recipe

  How to make seared salmon & green tea noodles

1. Cook the noodles by plunging them into a large saucepan of boiling water. Return to the boil and cook for 4 minutes until al dente. Drain and immediately refresh under cold water before draining again. Shake to remove any excess water and dry with a clean cloth. Transfer the noodles to a large mixing bowl, add the sesame oil and toss well to coat.
2. Meanwhile season the salmon with the salt and mixed sesame seeds.
3. Preheat a non-stick frying pan over a high heat until smoking, add the salmon and cook for 1 minute on each side until seared on the outside but still rare inside. Set aside to cool before slicing thinly.
4. To make the dressing, combine all the ingredients in a bowl and stir to dissolve the sugar.
5. Arrange the noodles on a large platter and top with the salmon and coriander and salad leaves. Drizzle with the dressing and serve with some pickled ginger, if using.
6. TIP: Flavoured sea salts are all the rage and smoked sea salt is a lovely addition here. However, you can use regular sea salt if you prefer.
