Cold Soba Noodles with Salmon, Kale & Avocado

Ingredients

Step 1
Boil soba noodles according to package directions. Drain and cool.
Step 2
While water and noodles boil, bake salmon with a good drizzle of teriyaki sauce on top in a 400-degree oven for about 10 minutes for every inch of thickness. (You can also marinate the salmon in teriyaki beforehand if you prefer.) Most center-cut salmon fillets will cook in about 12 to 14 minutes. If the fish flakes easily with a fork, it’s ready. Break the salmon into pieces and allow to cool.
Step 3
In the same pan you cooked your salmon, wilt a bunch of kale or spinach and set aside.
Step 4
In a separate bowl, whisk together rice vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, lime juice, and a bit more teriyaki sauce. Taste the mixture as you go until you’re satisfied with the balance of flavors.
Step 5
Add the soba noodles, salmon, and kale to the bowl with diced avocado and slivered almonds. Combine well. Taste again and adjust flavors as needed. Store covered in refrigerator and enjoy within a couple of days.
