Ingredients (15)

  • 26 oz boneless salmon scales removed
  • 10 oz boiled egg noodles from 5 oz dry
  • 6 oz broccoli cut into florets
  • 2 tbsp honey
  • 2 tbsp garlic finely minced
  • 2 1/2 tbsp reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 fl oz water
  • 1 tsp cornstarch
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 2 tsp lemon juice
  • 1 tsp sriracha
  • 2 tbsp scallion finely chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

1

Cook the broccoli: Fill a deep pan with about 1 ½-inch water and bring it to a boil. Once boiling, add 6 oz broccoli and cook for 2 minutes. Strain the boiled broccoli into a colander in the sink. Rinse the broccoli under running water to prevent it from cooking any further. Drain excess water and set aside.
