Scale

- 2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar (Apple cider vinegar works as a substitute.)
- 2 tablespoons Miso Paste (Use white or red miso.)
- 1 tablespoon Brown Sugar (Coconut sugar can be used for a healthier option.)
- 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce (Tamari is a good gluten-free alternative.)
- 2 fillets Salmon Fillets (Substitute with trout or chicken if desired.)
- 1 tablespoon Sesame Oil (Omit for a lighter dish.)
- 3 cloves Garlic (Fresh garlic preferred; garlic powder also works.)
- 2 stalks Spring Onion (Chives can be used as a substitute.)

- 2 tablespoons Sesame Seeds (Optional garnish.)

Instructions
- In a small saucepan, combine ¼ cup mirin, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons miso paste, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes until thickened and fragrant. Allow to cool for 15 minutes.
- Place 2 salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the cooled glaze over. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
- In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add 2 chopped spring onions and 3 minced garlic cloves, sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
- Add 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons water to the skillet. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until aromatic.
- Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and add to the skillet, tossing to coat well with the sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F). Transfer marinated salmon to a lined baking dish and drizzle any remaining glaze. Bake for 7-10 minutes until caramelized and flakes easily.
- Serve garlic noodles on plates, top with cooked salmon, and garnish with coriander, spring onion, and sliced chillies.
