These Mango Avocado Soba Noodles with Sesame Salmon Poke are full of flavor and color…LOVE!

The beginning of this week started out grey, snowy, windy, and so cold. I’m not even going to sugar coat it in the least, it was cold…and it made for a rather brutal Monday. These fridged tempts and dark days have left me dreaming of warmer weather, longer days, and sunshine…love the the sunshine!! Thankfully by Wednesday afternoon the sun finally surfaced, and though it is still very cold at night, it’s amazing to see the sun again.

I am pretty positive that I am not the only one craving warm days, sun and signs of spring, so while we all wait for that to finally happen, I thought I would brighten our days with one of the most colorful (and delicious) soba noodle bowls.

I made this recipe a couple of weeks ago on a whim. I was just feeling the need for something really fresh. I happened to have the most gorgeous wild caught salmon on hand, so I knew I wanted to make some kind of salmon poke…with mango, because again, I was clearly feeling the tropical vibes. I pulled a few ingredients from my pantry and just kind of put this together. At the time, I wasn’t planning on posting the recipe, but as I started assembling, I quickly realized that I would definitely need to share this with you guys. I mean, the salmon poke alone is worth sharing, but add the noodles? Yup, a must share, and truly one of my favorite recipes of the month. The flavors are some of my favorites.

I’m not sure if you guys have noticed, but poke is definitely having its moment right now. If you guys are into it, I highly, highly recommend The Poke Cookbook. It’s filled with so many amazing poke recipes. I’m dying to make the Poke Nachos on page seventy-six.

Ohhhhh…IDEA, what if I made a poke recipe on Facebook Live tomorrow? Would you guys be into that? Sounds fun to me…

Anyway, back to soba and salmon talk!

Like I said, I am pretty am much head over heals in love with this recipe. It’s fast to make, super healthy, and loaded with so many flavors. Lots of Asian fusion mixed with a little Hawaiian flare!

The noodles are tossed with a light tahini sauce, fresh mango, peas, and avocado. The mango is really KEY to this noodle bowl, as it adds a pop of sweetness and balances out the spice. The salmon poke is a simple ginger garlic marinade, but don’t let the short list of ingredient fool you, as long as you have good salmon, the poke going to be so delicious. You could also use sushi grade ahi tuna. Both would be great, but I’m personally loving the salmon right now.

This recipe comes together so fast. I’m talking under thirty minutes fast, and the leftovers are great warm or cold the next day for lunch. Umm, dinner and lunch in one? Yes, please!

ps. Personally, I am all about these noodles WARM, but then even in the summer, I don’t like cold food…that is unless we’re talking ice cream, in which case I am madly in love.

In other very random news, my grandma has been sick (thoughts and prayers for my grandma please ?) so my mom is now in Florida visiting my grandparents. This means that my dad is left with my little sister Asher all by himself…ah yikes. OK not really, my dad is great with her, but Asher has been coming over while my dad hits the gym after school and she has been making a lot of appearances on my Instagram lately. It’s funny because a lot of you think she’s my kid…she’s obviously not, but she kind of loves being on camera and reading everyone comments. She especially loves everyone who comments on her outfits…the kitty leggings are from H&M guys! 🙂

We actually made this recipe together the other day, and while she was totally grossed out by the fish, she did say that she loved the pink color. Someday I will get her to try fish. Someday.

Until then, more for me, right? Yup. Yup.

Ok and with that, I feel as though I am rambling again. So soba poke noodles tonight, right? Yes, perfect way to end out the week and welcome us into FRIDAY?! Sounds like a plan to me.

  3. Hello friends, its wonderful paragraph regarding educationand fully explained, keep it up all the time.

  4. Hiya!

    This dish looks beautiful. I was wondering what I can used to sub the salmon since I’m not a fan of salmon or fish. ? I know this is a poke bowl but it just looks so good & I feel like it could still be great with another form of meat. ?

    Thank you!

    1. Hi! I think that using cooked beef or chicken would be awesome! You could also use cooked beets too. Any of these would be great. Just make sure the meat is cooked! 🙂 Let me know if you have questions. Thanks!

  5. This looks fantastic! Is the tahini required for this dish? Or is there anything one can substitute for it?

  6. Just recently stumbled across your blog….and WOW.

    I think we have the same taste palate…because every one of your posts literally SPEAKS to me.

    Where do you get your sushi grade fish from? I’m assuming a local fish market? I’ve been nervous to eat it raw when I prepare myself!

    1. Hey Libby! Thank you so much, you are so sweet! I live in CO so the best I can do is whole foods! I buy their frozen sushi grade fish. It works great. Let me know if you have questions, hope you love this! 🙂

  7. This bowl just screams spring and with the snow falling outside and stabbing me in the soul while it does so (ughhhh) I need a BIG serving!
