Honey & Lime Salmon with Teriyaki Noodles

I love putting various combinations of herbs, garlic, and honey on fish and baking it (suits my pre-wedding diet nicely). This is not a new idea and there's about a million subtly different recipes on the internet. The husband-to-be really likes my teriyaki noodles; they've been refined over many attempts until I got them exactly right for our tastes. This is the first time I've made them together and I'll definitely be doing it again, it was very well received. 

I like to keep the dressing simple:

3 tbsp honey
Juice of 1 lime
Handful of coriander
2 cloves garlic, finely grated (I wish I owned a garlic crusher)
Grated ginger to taste (I used 1 tsp Very Lazy ginger)

The salmon goes in cute little individual foil-lined oven-proof dishes, the dressing goes on and I bake it at 190c in a fan oven for 25 minutes (or whatever the instructions say on the particular fish I'm using). It is the easiest thing ever.



I then cook the noodles (I use medium egg noodles but any would do I think) according to the instructions on the packet. After draining I then fry them in sunflower oil for 1 minute before adding the sauce which is really simple and just 4 ingredients:



Per noodle 'nest' (you want one nest per person)- 
2 tsp oyster sauce
2 tsp + a splash less sauce soy sauce
2 tsp teriyaki table sauce
Tiny splash rice wine vinegar (seriously just a splash to cut through the teriyaki sweetness but don't overdo it)

I then continue to stir fry the noodles for about 4 minutes while the pak choi steams, then serve. J likes some extra teriyaki sauce on his, the sauce it's cooked in is a good base to which we both add extra seasoning to taste :)
