# # # đł Detailed Cooking Instructions
1. Marinate the Salmon
In a small bowl, whisk together the miso paste, yuzu kosho, sake, and mirin until it forms a smooth glaze. Coat your salmon fillets evenly with the mixture and let them marinate for 15â20 minutes. Do not discard the leftover marinadeâwe will use it to flavor the noodles later!
2. Boil the Soba Noodles
While the fish is marinating, bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the soba noodles and cook according to the package instructions (usually 4â5 minutes) until al dente. Drain well and set aside.
3. Pan-Fry Salmon & Pak Choi (No Oil)
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat *without adding any oil*. Place the salmon fillets in the pan to let the natural fish fats render out. Cook until crispy and done through, turning as needed. At the same time, place the pak choi halves cut-side down into the pan to catch a beautiful char. Once cooked, transfer the salmon and pak choi to a plate.
4. Glaze the Noodles & Assemble
Turn the heat down to low. In the exact same frying pan (which now contains all those delicious caramelized salmon drippings), toss in your cooked soba noodles. Pour in the leftover marinade sauce and add a generous pat of butter. Stir-fry quickly until the butter melts and coats the noodles beautifully. Taste it, and add a splash of soy sauce if you want a deeper savory flavor.
