Directions
For the Salmon
- Set your oven rack to the top position and preheat the broiler to high.
- Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and drizzle with vegetable oil.
- Cut each salmon fillet in half lengthwise so that they will cook quicker and place onto the prepared sheet. Flip the fillets to coat with the oil and season with salt and pepper. Arrange the salmon so that each piece is cut side up and place under the broiler for 2 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk together the gochujang or sriracha with soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, and garlic. Pour the glaze over the salmon and continue to broil for 5 to 7 minutes or until cooked through to your liking.
Cook the Rice Noodles
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Season with salt and add in the rice noodles. Cover the pot with a tight-fitting lid, turn off the heat, and allow the noodles to cook for 8 minutes or until tender.
- Drain the noodles and run them under cold water to rinse then toss with the sesame oil and set aside.
Pickle the Vegetables
- In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, soy sauce, and sesame seeds. Using a vegetable peeler, cut the carrots into thin ribbons. Thinly slice the cucumber and transfer the veg to the bowl.
- Toss well to combine and set aside to allow the carrots and cucumber to lightly pickle until ready to serve.
To Serve
- To serve, divide the noodles into four bowls and top with the pickled veg, edamame, spicy salmon, green onions, and herbs with some soy sauce and sriracha on the side. Enjoy!
