Soba Noodles in Sweet Brown Sauce (with Salmon and Kale)

by Arielle J on February 18, 2014

Saw a pict on instagram of Daphne Oz’s “Blow Your Mind Baked Chicken Wings” that she made on The Chew and had to recreate it and make it a tad healthier!

I added soba noodles and salmon to make a complete meal and it was SO yummy. My instagram fans thought it looked delicious too!

Here is her recipe that I healthified. I swapped:
– corn starch for coconut flour (better for digestion)
– soy sauce for tamari (fermented and gluten-free variety- less stomach upset and bloat)
– chicken wings for wild salmon (high in protein, more omega3 and great for glowing skin)

Soba Noodles in Sweet Brown Sauce (with Salmon and Kale)
Ingredients:

1 package soba noodles
2 teaspoons coconut flour
3 tsp Coconut Oil
3 garlic cloves; minced
1 tablespoon fresh giner, grated
3 scallions; sliced
1/4 cup tamari
1/4 cup raw honey
1 Limes; juiced
3 kale stems, chopped
1 tablespoon Sesame Oil
3 tbs water
1/4 tsp sea salt
1 fist size of wild salmon/per person
sesame seeds (optional for garnish)

Serves approx 6 people

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350º F.
Make soba noodles according to directions
In a small bowl mix coconut flour and water until “muddy” texture. Set aside.
Heat coconut oil in a sauté pan. Add garlic, ginger and scallions
(leave aside a few for garnish), and cook for approx 30 seconds until fragrant.
Then, stir in the tamari, honey, lime juice, kale stems and sesame oil. Add in the coconut flour and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until sauce has thickened slightly. Remove from heat and allow to cool to room temperature.
Season fish with sea salt and place in a rimmed baking dish. Bake for 10 minutes.
Pour 1/2 sauce mixture over salmon and return to the oven for approx 12 minutes until salmon is cooked through and sauce is sticky.
Remove from oven, add sauce to soba noodles, top with salmon and garnish with rest of scallions and sesame seeds. Voila! ENjoy!
