Pan fried Cajun spiced Salmon with Stir fried vegetable nooodles
This is a recipe that I've enjoyed over the years. It was something that I created with ingredients that I had available one night. It may seem like an unusual mix of ingredients but it has all the right flavours.
Equipment
- Chopping board and knife
- Wok
- Frying pan
- Pot and Spoon
Ingredients
Salmon Marination
- 4 Salmon fillets
- 1 tsp Cajun Spice
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- ¼ tsp paprika
- Salt to taste
- 1 tbsp olive oil
Stir fried noodles
- 250-300 gm Noodles I use medium egg noodles
- 1 large red onion sliced
- 1 large red pepper sliced
- 100 gm Tenderstem broccoli
- ¾ tbsp finely chopped ginger
- 4 large cloves of garlic
- 2 finely slices green chillies optional
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 tbsp white wine vinegar
- ¼ tsp ground black pepper
- drizzle of Sriracha sauce you can use any chilly or hot sauce
- ¾ tbsp dark soya sauce
- salt to taste
Instructions
Marination
- Mix all the ingredients in a small bowl to make a paste.
- Apply this mixture to the fillets and leave for a while. I refrigerate it until I'm ready to cook.
Stir fried vegetable noodles
- Heat a Wok. Once the Wok is hot, add the oil
- Add chopped ginger and fry for a couple of minutes. Add the sliced onions and stir fry until lightly brown. To this add chopped garlic and cook for a minute. This is when you would add the chillies.
- Now you can add the peppers and the Tenderstem broccoli. Stir fry for another minute and then add the vinegar, pepper, salt to taste and mix well.
- Once the vegetables are cooked, add in the soya sauce and Sriracha or chilli sauce. Stir fry for another couple of minutes. Noodles are ready to serve
Frying the Salmon
- Heat a frying pan. Ensure this is really hot before adding the salmon fillets to the pan. I use skin on Salmon fillets and fry the salmon to ensure the skin is crispy.
- Turn the fish on each side to ensure it cooked well on all sides. Fish should be ready in 7 minutes

Notes
I love adding a drizzle of Balsamic glaze on the top which adds a lovely sweetness to the dish.
