Instructions
-
Prepare the Broccoli:
- Begin by mixing together all the ingredients designated for the broccoli in a mixing bowl. If you choose to grill, preheat your oven to 180°C (356°F). Spread the broccoli mixture onto a baking sheet and grill in the oven for approximately 15 minutes, or until the broccoli is tender and slightly charred. Alternatively, you can stir-fry the broccoli in a wok or kadhai over high heat until it achieves a nice browning.

-
Marinate the Salmon:
- In a separate bowl, combine the sesame oil, fish sauce, rice wine vinegar, and all the spices, including lemongrass, ginger, garlic, red chili flakes, lemon zest, and black peppercorns. Whisk the mixture well until fully combined and set aside.
- Place the salmon fillets on a large piece of aluminum foil. Pour the spice mixture over the salmon, ensuring each fillet is generously coated. Carefully seal the foil from all four sides, making sure the salmon is fully enclosed.
-
Grill the Salmon:
- In the same preheated oven (180°C/356°F), place the wrapped salmon and grill for about 10 to 12 minutes. For an extra layer of flavor and a slight caramelization, open the foil and broil the salmon for an additional 2-3 minutes.
-
Prepare the Noodles:
- While the salmon is cooking, in a large saucepan, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Add the red chili flakes, garlic, and ginger, sautéing until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add the boiled egg noodles to the pan, followed by soy sauce, vinegar, and a pinch of salt to taste. Toss everything together until the noodles are heated through and well coated in the sauce.
-
Assemble and Serve:
- To serve, place a generous portion of the chili noodles on each plate, topping with grilled salmon. Arrange the grilled or stir-fried broccoli on the side.
- Complement your meal with a refreshing Watermelon-Cranberry Mocktail and a crisp Fresh Garden Salad for a delightful dining experience.
