Asian Salmon Skewers with Buckwheat Noodles


I made this for my children last week because it looked yummy of course but I was falling into the 'cooking fish safe and boring' category. They wanted more so be warned!
We should all be aiming to eat 2-3 portions of oily fish weekly(unless otherwise advised) so try this recipe on your little or big ones. I used salmon but you could use *prawns, trout, sea bass, fresh tuna steak or even scallops.
Get some wooden skewers and soak them in water for at least 20 minutes-if you use metal ones thats fine too.

What you will need-
2 *salmon darnes sliced across the grain at least 1 cm thick
4 skewers
225g buckwheat noodles cooked in lots of water and stirred well while cooking
1tsp toasted sesame oil
Pinch of white sesame seeds


For the marinade:
1 tbsp local honey
2 tbsp braggs liquid amino or tamari
1 tbsp wholegrain mustard
1 lime juiced
1/4 red chilli seeds in or out(for kiddies) and finely diced
1 tsp grated ginger
1 tsp sweet chilli sauce
Mix the marinade togethor and brush over fish.
Leave aside for as long as possible-maybe an hour minimum

Salmon skewers with buckwheat noodles,steamed broccoli and soybeans

Thread the fish slices onto the skewers like a snake(see above) and place on a lined tray.I put the lime into the oven too for a finish toasty lime finishing squeeze on serving...
Serve with the noodles drizzled with the sesame oil, roasted lime, sesame seeds and a few coriander leaves if you have some.

Enjoy.

Happy health
