Preparation

Step 1 - 🌡️🔥👉

Preheat the oven to 375°F.
Step 2 - 🍶🍯👉

Make the yuzu-miso sauce by whisking together yuzu juice, white miso, soy sauce, honey, mirin, minced garlic, and grated ginger in a small bowl until combined.
Step 3 - 🍜💧🔥

Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add soba noodles and cook according to package directions until al dente.
Step 4 - 🐟🧂🌿

Lightly coat salmon fillets with vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper.
Step 5 - 🔥🍳🧂

Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add salmon fillets to the skillet, skin-side down, and cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy. Flip the salmon fillets over and place the skillet in the oven to finish cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the salmon is cooked through but still juicy and tender.
Step 6 - 🥢🥦🍜

Drain the soba noodles and rinse under cold water to chill. Toss chilled soba noodles with snow peas and sesame oil in a large bowl.
Step 7 - 🍽️🍜🐟

Divide soba noodles and snow peas among four plates and top each with a salmon fillet. Spoon the yuzu-miso sauce over the salmon and noodles, and sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and scallions.
Step 8 - 🥒🌱🍚

Serve with a side of steamed edamame or a simple cucumber salad, if desired.

Additional

Toasting the sesame seeds and trimming the snow peas are easy tasks that kids can help with. For a vegetarian version, substitute the salmon with marinated and grilled tofu cubes. You can also use other types of noodles like udon or ramen for a fun twist.
