- 5 ounces mesclun greens or baby spinach
- 4 4- ounce skin-on salmon fillets
- 16 ounces soba noodles
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil
- 1 avocado optional
- Sauce
- ¼ cup gochujang
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup more or less to taste
- 2 tablespoon sesame oil
Prepare Soba Noodles:
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the soba noodles according to package instructions. Drain, rinse, and transfer to the bowl of the sweet and spicy sauce. Toss to coat the noodles. Set aside.
Prepare the Salmon:
Pat the salmon dry and season with salt and pepper all over. Heat 1 tablespoon cooking oil over medium-high heat in a large skillet. Add the fillets, skin-side down, and cook for 3-5 minutes without moving. Once the salmon releases easily from the skillet, flip the fillets and cook an additional 3-5 minutes or until desired internal temperature is reached. Do not overcook. Transfer to a plate.
As the salmon is cooking, peel the avocado and remove and discard the pit. Thinly slice the flesh.
