This Sticky Honey Sesame Glazed Salmon Noodle Bowl is one of my last recipes to share of 2019 and it is so delicious!! I made this earlier in the month and everyone in the family happily gobbled it up.
The sauce that marinates the salmon and that also goes on the noodles as the sauce is absolutely dreamy. The salmon caramelizes around the edges because of the honey in the sauce, and the noodles, with their wonderful texture, soak up the sauce and become so incredibly delicious.
Then you have all of the fresh garnishes that make the whole dish extra delicious! I actually like to eat this kind of like tacos! I use a butter lettuce leaf and pile some fresh veggies, noodles and a bite of salmon and eat it all together. YUM.

- 4 skewers
- Honey Sesame Sauce
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh ginger
- 2 cloves garlic
- 3 tablespoons honey

- ¼ cup toasted cashews chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 450 degrees and cover a sheet-pan with a piece of foil.
- Skewer the salmon chunks, evenly distributing the pieces between the 4 skewers and lay them flat on the pan covered with foil.

- Place the salmon in the oven and cook for 10 minutes. Put a large pot of water on and bring to a boil.
- Prepare the noodles by turning the heat off on the boiling water and leave the noodles in the water to soak for a few minutes. Then drain the noodles and rinse with cold water to prevent them from continuing to cook.
- To serve: Add the rest of the sauce to the bottom of a serving platter or divide between individual dishes. Place the noodles on top of the sauce and sprinkle with chopped toasted cashews (if using.) Add the fresh garnishes and then top with the salmon skewers.
