Ingredients

• 4 salmon fillets
• each weighing 110g/4oz
• 300g/10½oz soba noodles
• 225g/8oz white miso paste
• 200g/7oz sugar
• 115ml/4fl oz sake
• 115ml/4fl oz mirin
• steamed purple sprouting broccoli
• lime wedges

Directions

• In a bowl
• mix together all the ingredients for the miso marinade. Put the pieces of salmon in the marinade and leave overnight (do not marinate the fish more than two nights
• otherwise they will become hard and too salty).
• Preheat the oven to 170C/325F/Gas 3 (to speed up the cooking time the oven can be preheated to 200C/390F/Gas 6).
• Wipe clean the salmon fillets and place them on an oiled baking tray. Bake for 5-7 minutes on each side
• or until cooked.
• To cook the soba noodles
• bring a large saucepan of water to the boil and add the noodles as swiftly as possible. Stir to prevent the noodles from sticking together.
• Stand by with a cup of cold water and when the water returns to the boil and begins to froth up
• add the water. Let the water return to boil and drain. Rinse the noodles under cold running water and drain well again.
• Serve with steamed purple sprouting broccoli and garnish with a lime wedge.
