Background

This salmon and shiitake noodle dish is a light, wholesome meal that comes together under 30 minutes. It’s simple but full of flavour, made with a Japanese style savoury sauce. The salmon is steamed over the vegetables, keeping it soft and juicy, while the noodles soak up all the flavours. It’s the kind of dish that feels balanced and satisfying without being heavy. You can make it gluten-free by using 100% buckwheat or brown rice noodles.
