Soba Noodles with Salmon

Ingredients

• 300 grams salmon steak (or firm fish of choice)
• 90 grams soba noodles
• 2 egg yolks
• 1 tbsp lemon zest
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 cup baby spinach
• Salt and pepper

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 180C.

2. 2

   Wrap the salmon in baking paper and place on a baking tray. Cook for 8-10 minutes or until salmon is cooked through. You could also cook the salmon in a steamer if you have one.

3. 3

   When salmon is ready, remove from the oven (or steamer) and use a fork to flake the flesh into pieces.

4. 4

   Prepare the noodles according to packet directions and keep about 1/4 cup per serve of the cooking water aside.

5. 5

   Heat a frying pan over medium heat. Add the drained noodles, egg yolk, lemon zest and lemon juice. Stir quickly to cook the egg yolk over the heat and combine with the noodles. While stirring, slowly add in the reserved cooking water from the noodles to help combine the sauce with the noodles (you may not need all of the reserved liquid).

6. 6

   Add the salmon and baby spinach and toss through gently until spinach has wilted.

7. 7

   Remove from heat and serve seasoned with salt and pepper.
