Cold Salmon Noodle Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Cook the ramen noodles (minus the seasoning packs) to very al dente according to the package instructions. Let cool.
• Mix together the peanut butter, lime juice and 1/3 cup Asian dressing. Toss with the cabbage mix and cold noodles. Let sit for at least 30 minutes, tossing a couple times in between.
• Position a rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to broil. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Mix the miso, honey and remaining 2 tablespoons Asian dressing in a small bowl. Season with salt if necessary. Liberally brush both sides of the salmon with the miso glaze. Place on the prepared baking sheet and broil on the middle rack until the fish is browned, the flesh is opaque and the interior is 145 degrees F, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Place the cooked salmon on top of the cold noodle salad. Garnish with a liberal sprinkling of toasted sesame seeds and scallion greens.

Steps:

• Bring a deep pan of water to the boil, slide in the rice noodles, turn off the heat and leave covered for 4-6 minutes.
• Drain and put in a serving bowl.
• Mix the fish sauce and sugar with the juice from two of the limes and the chopped chilli.
• You can either remove the seeds from the chilli or leave them in for a spicy salad.
• Also add in a handful each of chopped mint and coriander and then pour over the noodles.
• Put the dish in the fridge until well chilled (at least an hour).
• Rub the salmon with a touch of the oil and then either grill in a pan on the stove or bake in your oven for 10-15 minutes, until done to your liking.
• Let cool slightly until the salmon is about room temperature, then serve over the chilled noodles, with wedges of lime on the side.

Steps:

• Cook spaghetti in boiling water until cooked al dente. Drain.
• In a small bowl, mix together ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, sugar and cayenne pepper.
• In a large bowl, toss together spaghetti, carrots, cucumber, salmon and coriander.
• Pour in dressing and toss to coat salad.
• Garnish with sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Combine the cucumber, scallions, and red bell pepper in a medium bowl and refrigerate.
• In a medium non-stick saute pan, lightly cook carrots and mushrooms in a medium pan with the sesame seeds, adding 1 tablespoon of water at a time. Continue to cook until carrots and mushrooms are tender. Cool. Add to cucumber mixture and keep refrigerated.
• Combine all ingredients for dressing and mix well. Toss with vegetables and noodles.

Steps:

• Make the ponzu sauce:
• Place the stock, soy sauce, and sugar in a small saucepan and heat slowly until small bubbles appear around the rim. Stir to dissolve the sugar. Remove the saucepan from the heat and add the bonito flakes. Wait 2 minutes, then add the lemon and/or lime juice. Strain the mixture through a fine-woven muslin cloth- or coffee filter-lined colander. Chill the sauce for at least 20 minutes, or refrigerate up to several days.
• Assemble the salad:
• If the cooked noodles seem sticky or pasty, quickly rinse in cold water and drain well. Divide them among 4 shallow serving bowls. Garnish the noodles with sesame seeds and chives or scallions. Serve the chilled ponzu sauce on the side to drizzle on and toss in just before eating.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a medium pot over high heat. Add wine to the pot and allow half to cook off, 2 to 3 minutes.
• Cover the bottom of the pot with onion slices. Score the skin side of the salmon to prevent curling. Lay salmon on the onion slices, skin side up. Reduce heat to low and cook until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center reads 145 degrees F (63 degrees C), 10 to 12 minutes. Remove salmon from the pot and let cool.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes.
• Meanwhile, place mayonnaise, white wine vinegar, celery salt, paprika, and pepper in a medium bowl. Stir well. Remove 1/2 of the dressing and refrigerate until serving.
• Drain macaroni and add to the bowl of dressing; turn to coat. Add celery, carrot, red pepper, peas, and green onions. Turn to coat. Remove skin from the salmon and cut into rough chunks. Add to the macaroni and stir gently. Chill for at least 2 hours.
• Add remaining dressing to the salad and toss. Taste and adjust salt, if necessary.

Steps:

• In a large bowl, toss the pasta, salmon, tomatoes, cucumber and onion. For dressing, combine the oil, lemon or lime juice, dill, garlic, salt and pepper; mix well. Pour over pasta. Cover and chill. Serve over lettuce.
