crispy salmon ramen

There’s always an excuse to whip up some ramen. This artic-twist on a Japanese classic includes crispy skin salmon with a poached egg and plenty of pickled seaweed.

Ramen is such an easy dish to customize. I literally started with an instant ramen noodle package and built my bowl from there. I did a quick sear on my salmon until the skin was crispy brown and then I flipped it into my ramen along with a poached egg.

Making a mishmash bowl of ramen is also a great way to clean out your fridge – so I included things like chopped carrots and slices of jalapeno in mine, because why not? The carrots can be used to replicate a ginger-y flavor and the jalapenos bring a welcome flash of heat.

Ingredients
  

  • 2 packages instant ramen noodles flavorings discarded
  • 2 salmon filets (8-10 oz each) skin on
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • ½ cup broccolini chopped
  • 1 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup onion chopped
  • 1 cup carrots chopped
  • 2 tablespoons mirin
  • 2 eggs poached, optional
  • 1 jalapeno sliced
  • ½ cup pickled seaweed shredded
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • sriracha for topping
  • fresh parsley for topping

Instructions
 

  • In a large soup pot, add the butter and heat over medium high. Season the salmon with salt and pepper. Add the salmon, skin side down, to the pot. Cook until the skin is brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes. Flip and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Remove from the pot but do not clean the pot.
  • Add the olive oil to the pot along with the onions, carrots and broccolini. Saute until the onions are transluscent and the broccolini is bright green. Pour in the mirin to 'deglaze' the pan, scraping up any brown bits on the bottom.
  • Pour the chicken broth into the pot with the veggies and bring to a boil. As soon as it hits a boil, add the ramen noodles. Cook until the noodles are tender, about 3-5 minutes. If using, stir in the pickled seaweed.
  • Ladle the broth and vegetables into a bowl and then fill with the noodles. Place the seared salmon on top. Garnish with a poached egg, jalapeno slices and sriracha. Serve hot and enjoy!
