Stir fry Noodles and baked Salmon...



If you want something really quick and easy to make, this meal is just right for you (that is if you love noodles and fish). it is like Jamie Oliver’s 15 minute meal only that this will take you about 30 minutes plus prepping.
I love salmon and I personally think salmon is best eaten with Jollof rice. I just love the way it melts in the mouth when cooked well. Let’s move on to my 30 minutes meal from my #active kitchen.

You will need
Salmon fillets
Mixed bell peppers
Seasoning
Pinch of salt
Noodles (pre cooked or raw)
Dried parsley (optional)
Mangetout  
2 -3 tablespoons of olive oil
2-3 cube of butter
Cayenne pepper (optional)
Onion
Garlic granules (optional)


Let’s crack on...  #prepping
Set your oven to 180 degrees/ gas mark 4
Cut the bell peppers into tiny stripes and slice your onions. Take some of the stripped peppers and dice into tiny cubes. This will be used with the salmon. Set this aside
Now to the main meal...
The fish cooks between 20 and 25 minutes
In a mixing bowl, mix the diced peppers, butter, seasoning of choice, cayenne pepper (if needed), parsley, garlic and salt together. It will look a bit messy but it’s alright
Rub your mixture onto the salmon fillet and wrap in foil. Place in the oven and bake for 20 or 25 minutes


You have 20 minutes to stir fry your noodles and you can also make yourself a cup of tea while you are at it 
In a separate pot, boil noodles according to pack instructions or as you will prefer but for this meal you don’t want it to be too soft or it will look mushy.


Place your wok on the heat, add olive oil, and add the remaining bell peppers, onions, mangetout sauté for 5 minutes. (add some seasoning)
Drain the noodles and add it to the sautéed vegetable. Cook for another 5 minutes.


 Turn off the heat and plate up. Bring out your salmon from the oven, unwrap it from the foil and voila you are just 2 minutes away from eating. Serve your salmon with your cooked noodles and its all yum yum.




Have a lovely weekend all.
