Method

1. Mix together Mirin, Sake, Grated ginger and garlic, Honey, and Miso in a container. Add the Salmon, flip so the sauce covers both sides, put lid on and let it marinate for 30 + minutes (or longer if you feel like it).
2. While the salmon is marinating cook the Udon noodles as per package, rinse under cold water and put in a bowl. Add 3 tbs soy sauce, 1 tbs rice wine vinegar, 1 tbs sesame oil and 1 tbs sesame seeds, to the bowl and mix together, set aside.
3. Slice the cucumber julienned, and put into a bowl with 1 tsp rice wine vinegar and 1 tsp soy sauce, sprinkle over some sesame seeds and a splash of sesame oil, mix together and set aside.
4. Once the salmon is adequately marinated, heat olive oil in a fry pan, once hot add the salmon and pour over the extra sauce, cook salmon to your liking, spending extra time on the skin side to make it really crispy.
5. Divide the udon noodles between 2 bowls, add the salmon and the cucumber salad on top of the noodles, sprinkle with sesame seeds, the spring onions, and finish with a splash of sesame oil. Delish!!!
