Sweet glaze coats salmon—Teriyaki whispers warmth—Broth hugs noodles close

Ingredients

  • 4 salmon fillets (about 5–6 ounces each), skin removed
  • 3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce (plus extra for drizzling)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, minced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
  • 4 portions dried ramen noodles (seasoning packets discarded)
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • Kosher salt, to taste
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment. In a bowl, whisk together teriyaki sauce, honey, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger, and garlic.
  2. Pat salmon fillets dry, season lightly with salt and pepper, and brush generously with teriyaki-honey mixture. Bake for 10–12 minutes, basting once, until salmon is glazed and just cooked through.
  3. Meanwhile, bring chicken broth, rice vinegar, and a pinch of salt to a simmer in a pot. Cook ramen noodles separately according to package directions; drain well.
  4. Divide cooked noodles among bowls and ladle hot broth over the top.
  5. Top each bowl with glazed salmon fillet. Drizzle with extra teriyaki sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  6. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds, green onions, nori strips, avocado, edamame, and pickled ginger as desired.

Perfect Pairings

Drink
Sake (Junmai Ginjo, chilled)
A chilled Junmai Ginjo sake, with its aromatic and slightly fruity profile, complements the sweet and savory honey teriyaki salmon. Its clean finish and subtle complexity enhance the Japanese flavors without overpowering the dish, making it an elegant pairing.
