Instructions
For the Salmon
Line baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.
Whisk chili sauce, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 1 tablespoon ginger in small bowl.
Place salmon fillets on prepared sheet. (Skin-side down if you bought salmon with skin on.)
Spoon chili sauce marinade over and let stand at room temperature 10 minutes.
Preheat broiler.
Spoon any marinade remaining on baking sheet over salmon fillets. Broil salmon without turning until browned in spots and almost opaque in center, 8 to 10 minutes, depending on thickness of fillet.
For the Pea Shoot/Brown Rice Ramen
Meanwhile, heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon ginger and minced garlic; stir until aromatic, about 30 seconds.
Add pea shoots or cooked brown rice ramen (follow cooking instructions on the package) to the ginger and garlic. If using pea shoots cook until they begin to slightly wilt.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, rice wine and cook for 2-3 minutes, until liquid is mostly absorbed. Drizzle with sesame oil.
Transfer noodles or pea shoots to a platter or individual plates and place salmon on top. Serve with any remaining sauce.
Garnish with scallions, optional.
Notes
It's cheaper to buy a larger fillet and either cut the pieces yourself or ask the fish person to do it for you. I prefer the Atlantic Salmon for this recipe.You can make the salmon without the pea shoots or brown rice ramen to simplify the dish.If you want to make noodles but can’t find Brown Rice Ramen, substitute a rice noodle.If you can’t find pea shoots but want to add a green, substitute leeks, spinach, zucchini, etc.
