Ingredients

  • 2 85-g pkgs ramen noodles , seasoning packets omitted
  • 1 tbsp sesame oil
  • 2 tbsp canola oil , divided
  • 1 tbsp minced ginger
  • 1 garlic clove , minced
  • 400 g snow peas , trimmed (about 6 cups)
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets

Instructions

  • BOIL a kettle of water. Pour water over ramen noodles in a medium bowl. Stir often, until noodles are soft, 3 to 4 min. Drain and rinse well with cold water. Toss with sesame oil.
  • HEAT a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high. Add 1 tbsp canola oil, then minced ginger, garlic clove and trimmed snow peas. Cook, stirring often, until snow peas are tender-crisp, about 2 min. Add to noodles. Drizzle with lemon juice and salt. Toss to coat. Transfer to a platter and cover with foil to keep warm.
  • WIPE pan clean. Add remaining 1 tbsp canola oil to pan set over medium. Add salmon fillets, skin-side up. Cook until bottoms are light golden, 2 to 3 min. Flip and brush tops with hoisin sauce. Season with fresh pepper. Cover and cook until a knife tip inserted in centre and held for 10 sec comes out warm, about 4 more min. Serve salmon over noodles.
