Directions

For the fish

  1. 1

    Combine the miso paste, sugar, mirin, soy sauce and sesame oil in a bowl. Reserve a few tablespoons once it’s smooth and combined. With the remaining mixture, douse each salmon filet in it and transfer to a baking sheet, skin side down. Turn on the broiler.

  2. 2

    Transfer the baking sheet to a broiler and broil for 8-9 minutes until cooked. Remove the salmon from the baking sheet to prevent it from over cooking. The salmon top should be golden/black in spots and opaque in the center and it should flake off easily.

For the noodles

  1. 1

    Combine the ginger, garlic, and two-thirds of scallions together in a large bowl. Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium high heat for about 2 minutes. Turn the heat off and add the ginger mixture. Let the mixture infuse for 5 minutes before stirring in remaining scallions. Stir in soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, pepper, sesame oil, and sugar; season with salt. Set aside for 15 minutes to let flavors come together. Taste and adjust seasonings.

  2. 2

    Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and toss with as much or as little scallion sauce as you'd like in bowl. Top with flakes of salmon, reserved miso sauce and assorted garnishes.
