Ingredients:
For the sauce:
- 60ml rice vinegar
- 15g cornstarch
- 15g brown sugar
- 90ml soy sauce
- 15ml sesame oil
- 5ml Sriracha sauce
- 2.5ml crushed red pepper flakes
- 15g minced garlic (about 3 cloves minced)
- 15g fresh ginger, minced
For the rest:
- Oil for the pan
- 2 heads broccoli, separated into bite-size florets
- 4-5 medium carrots, thinly sliced
- 5g salt
- 2 (454g) packages Sea Cuisine Asian Grill Rubbed Salmon
- 5g salt
- 1 (170g) package thin rice noodles (sometimes called rice sticks)
To garnish:
- 120ml green onions, chopped
- 45g toasted sesame seeds, or more
- 120ml fresh cilantro, chopped
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a glass measuring cup, whisk together all sauce ingredients: rice vinegar, cornstarch, brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, Sriracha, red pepper flakes, garlic, and ginger. Set aside.
- Add a small drizzle of oil to the sheet pan and rub it on with your hands, or coat generously with nonstick spray.
- Chop the broccoli into bite-size florets and slice the carrots into thin (no more than 1/4 inch) slices.
- Add the vegetables to the pan. Pour 120ml of the sauce over the vegetables and toss to coat. Sprinkle with 5g salt.
- Add the frozen Sea Cuisine Salmon fillets to the pan, ensuring they are touching the pan and not on top of any veggies.
- Roast in the oven for 12 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and stir the vegetables. (Try to turn them over but it doesn’t need to be perfect.) Avoid disturbing the salmon. Return to the oven quickly.
- Roast for another 10-12 minutes, until the broccoli and carrots are crisp-tender and the salmon is cooked through (reaching an internal temperature of 145°F).
- Meanwhile, boil a medium pot of water on the stove. Season with 5g salt. When it boils, turn off the heat and add the package of rice noodles. Let sit for about 5-8 minutes without stirring.
- Drain the noodles and return them to the pot. Add about half of the remaining sauce to the rice noodles and toss to coat. Taste and add more sauce if desired (the remaining sauce is for serving at the table).
- Transfer the noodles to the pan in 4 sections, if desired, for easy serving. Alternatively, serve them in a separate bowl.
- Top the rice noodles with salmon and vegetables. Garnish with green onions, sesame seeds, and cilantro. Serve the remaining sauce at the table (you can heat it in the microwave if desired).
Notes:
- For added flavor, you can marinate the salmon in a portion of the sauce for 30 minutes before cooking.
- Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preferences or what’s in season.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat before serving. Enjoy
