Honey Garlic Salmon Soba Noodle Bowls. Best for nights when you’re craving a really delicious noodle bowl, but also looking for a cozy, healthy dinner. Caramelized salmon in a sweet and tangy honey garlic sauce with soy sauce and ginger. Served over creamy tahini soba noodles with roasted broccoli and brussels sprouts. It’s the perfect, simple and quick dinner with plenty of color and even more flavor.

If there’s one food I really don’t make enough of, it’s seafood. For years there have been only a small handful of people in my family that would eat fish. The rest passed on anything from the sea. So I’ve always cooked much more pasta and meat than anything else.

But that’s slowly starting to change. Not everyone enjoys fish, and I don’t think that will ever change. But a few of my brothers (including Creighton) will eat salmon, tuna, and shrimp. Red is a big sushi guy and Creighton enjoys it more for health purposes. But hey, it sure is a good start!

I’ve given up on my mom, but maybe we’ll get Asher to at least try seafood in a few years. Either way, with new fish eaters, I’m excited to be able to create more recipes like todays. It’s simple to make, so colorful, and even more delicious.

The details

When you look at the recipe, you might think it’s a little too step heavy, but don’t let that scare you. This actually comes together pretty quick and easy.

I start with the salmon. The sauce is just soy sauce (I like to use tamari, which is gluten free soy sauce), honey, ginger, and garlic. I add a little Gochujang for a nice tangy heat. Then, just put the salmon in the sauce and let it hang out while you prep everything else.

For the vegetables, I love to use broccoli and brussels sprouts. Just roast them on a sheet pan with oil, salt, and pepper. They don’t need to be fancy.

While all that’s happening, you’ll be working on the noodles. I used soba noodles, but honestly any noodles works. Toss the noodles in a creamy tahini sauce. For the the sauce, the key is to mix it with a little hot water to help thin out the tahini and make it perfect for tossing with the noodles.

The last step is to cook the salmon. Bake it in the oven in the sauce until it’s cooked to your liking. I cook mine for about 8 minutes. Then switch the oven to broil and let the sauce caramelize around the salmon.

Just be sure to watch close, the broiler works quickly. It will take perfectly glazed salmon to black salmon in seconds.

Serve it all up

Serve this bowl-style with the noodles on the bottom, then the salmon, veggies and extra sauce over the salmon. I throw in some pickled ginger, green onions, and lots of sesame seeds.

IT’S DELICIOUS!

It’s all about the sticky sweet and tangy sauce and those creamy noodles. Delicious on their own, but so much better paired together. And yes, the family all agreed. My dad said this has been one of his favorite recipes in a long time, so that’s a real win.

My final words, double the recipe and save the leftovers for quick and easy lunches. Trust me you will be so happy you did!

    I love this recipe! The sauce on the salmon is the right mix of salty and sweet. The charred Brussels sprouts and broccoli add a nice , crisp texture. The only reason I didn’t give this recipe 5 stars is I personally don’t like the taste of tahini. It was a little strong on the noodles for me.

    1. Hey Susie,
      Happy Friday!! Thanks so much for giving this recipe a try, I am so glad to hear it was a winner:) ?xx

    This was so good!!! I didn’t have tahini but made it anyway and it was delicious! I can’t wait to make this again!

    1. Hi Fran,
      Thanks so much for giving this recipe a try and sharing your feedback! Love to hear that it was enjoyed!! xTieghan

        This is a great recipe however I think the soy ratios were a bit off as the dish was immensely salty.
        Also not sure if I need two sauces. Next time I’ll halve the soy and maybe only do sesame oil on the noodles.
        Will definitely do it again though!

        1. Hi Claire,
          Thanks so much for giving the recipe a try, all of the measurements are correct. You can always use low sodium soy sauce or coconut aminos to reduce the salt. I hope this helps! xTieghan

  3. Delicious! I was skeptical, but the creamy noodles are just what the saucy salmon needs. I can never get the sauce to caramelize on your “broil honey-sauce until thick” recipes before the meat gets overdone, so I just drain the sauce off and reduce it in a frying pan, then add it back on the meat. Really delicious and super filling dinner!

    1. Hi Cailyn,
      Happy Wednesday!! Thanks a lot for giving this recipe a try, I am so glad to hear it was enjoyed! xT

    Just made this for the first time and absolutely loved it! I was nervous to try this one as it’s outside my comfort zone, so I did eliminate the toasted sesame oil because I don’t really like strong sesame flavor. It’s so delicious, and the salmon is the perfect compliment to the flavors of the noodles. Definitely making again!

    1. Hi Kara,
      Fantastic! Thanks a lot for making this recipe, I love to hear that it was enjoyed! Have a great week:) xx

    Dear Tieghan Gerard,

    Very nice dish. The two sauces with similar ingredients make it a bit tricky to follow. But I think I managed.

    More importantly I more than halved the quantities of soy sauce and honey in the salmon sauce and the soy sauce and tahin in the sauce of the noodles. I imagined it would be overly salty and sweet. Already with the reduced quantities my partner called it overly soy sausish.

    1. Hi Jozef,
      Fantastic! Thanks a lot for making this recipe, I love to hear that it was enjoyed! Have a great week:) xx

  6. This was sooo good! My husband said it was one of the best meals I’ve made, which is crazy because I make so many good recipes from you! Always so amazing Tieghan, thank you.

  7. I made this last night and it was soooo good! I just re-read the recipe and realized I totally forgot the Gochujang – which I am kicking myself for because I love it – but the salmon still came out perfectly, so I am impressed that it probably was supposed to taste even better than it already did! Your recipes are so great and easy to follow!

  8. 5 stars
    Made this tonight! So good, so quick. I had a bag of Trader Joe’s Ready Veggies…the took 10 minutes to cook! This will be rotation often.

  9. Absolutely LOVED this recipe – my favorite half baked harvest recipe to date. The salmon was so tender, the flavors went together perfectly. Cant wait until the next time I make this!

  10. 5 stars
    I just made this with chicken, and OMG soooo good! My husband is so happy! I sliced the raw chicken into small pieces so that it would cook before the hoisin sauce burned. Also, I didn’t have hoisin but made my own and it was great! I will be trying it with salmon soon. Even with the extra steps, it was an easy recipe. Thanks!

    1. Hey Donna,

  12. We loved this. I did sub peanut butter for the tahini because I’m not a fan but otherwise followed the recipe. Husband wants this again tomorrow!
