Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2
In a large pot of boiling water, blanch the green beans for 2 minutes before using a slotted spoon to transfer them to a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
3
In the same pot, add the soba noodles to the boiling water and cook them according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain and set aside.
4
In a mixing bowl, combine 3 tablespoons of reduced sodium soy sauce, minced garlic, minced ginger, and 1 tablespoon of white wine. Add the salmon fillets to this marinade, ensuring they are well-coated.
5
On a baking sheet, place the marinated salmon fillets. Scatter the sliced scallions and thinly sliced ginger over the top of the salmon. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily.
6
Meanwhile, prepare the glaze by combining rice vinegar, lemon juice, sugar, the remaining 1/2 cup of soy sauce, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of cooking wine in a small saucepan. Place over medium heat and stir until the sugar dissolves, then bring to a boil and reduce the mixture by half (about 3 minutes).
7
Once everything is ready, in a large mixing bowl, toss the cooked soba noodles with the blanched green beans and a portion of the soy glaze until well combined.
