Pan Fried Salmon w/ Udon Noodles in a Dashi Broth.

We used to eat salmon loads on weeknights, such a good easy, quick and healthy meal. Pulled these recipes from Japanese Cooking: A Simple Art, and like every recipe I've tried from the book, t'is a winner.

Serves 2.

Ingredients for Salmon:
2 x Salmon Fillets
Vege oil
Tbsp Butter
Tbsp Rice Vinegar
Tbsp Mirin
1/2 Tbsp Dark Soy
1/2 Cup chopped Shallots

Ingredients for Dashi Broth:
2 tsp dashi powder
1 tsp light soy
1 1/2 tsp dark soy
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp mirin
Udon Noodles

Salt the Salmon generously on both sides and set aside for 1/2 hour.

Make the Dashi Broth by adding all ingredients except the npoodles in a saucepan and bring to the boil, then keep warm. Cook Udon noodles as per directions on packet.

Fry on both sides till done on a high heat using the oil. Tip out oil when done. Let pan cool a little so the butter wont burn immediately. Add butter in about 3 pieces and spoon over salmon. Remove Salmon, set aside and keep warm.

Add all other liquids to pan and cook 1 minute. Add shallots, mix and then plate, spooning sauce over salmon. I served with a side of steamed sugar snap peas.
