Japanese Sesame Salmon Soba Noodle Salad Bowls

Start by seasoning salmon fillets with salt and pepper.

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Once hot, add the salmon, skin-side-down, and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until crispy and cooked through. Set aside.

Meanwhile, cook the soba noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water.

Prepare the sauce by whisking together soy sauce, sesame oil, rice vinegar, honey, ginger, and garlic in a bowl.

To assemble the bowls, divide the soba noodles among 4 bowls.

Top the noodles with the cooked salmon, sliced cucumber, shredded carrot, chopped spring onions and sliced red bell pepper.

Drizzle the sauce over top of each bowl, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Serve immediately and enjoy!
