Teriyaki Salmon with Noodles
If you’ve been around awhile, you probably already know that I love salmon and try to incorporate it into my family’s meals once or twice a week with recipes like my cast iron salmon, salmon stir fry, glazed peach salmon, and these teriyaki salmon noodles. Not only is salmon an excellent source of protein and healthy fats, but it’s also extremely versatile and quick to make. That makes it a no-brainer in my book!
Plus, inspired by restaurant teriyaki dishes, this salmon and noodles recipe is loaded with sweet, savory, umami flavor and is free from MSG and refined sugars. Even better, it’s ready in less time than it takes to drive to your favorite local restaurant.
Ingredients & Notes

For the sauce
- Coconut aminos - This creates a classic teriyaki flavor without the need for soy sauce. However, soy sauce will work too.
- Sesame oil - Used to provide a subtle, nutty taste. A bland olive oil or lightly flavored oil will work as well.
- Honey - Adds sweetness to the sauce without the need for refined sugars.
- Ginger - Opt for freshly grated ginger instead of ginger powder for a strong, bright, slightly tangy flavor.
- Garlic powder - Freshly chopped garlic can be used too if you have it on hand.
For the salmon and noodles
- Salmon fillets - You can use fresh fish or frozen. Atlantic salmon is what I used in this recipe, but sockeye or king salmon will work as well. Skinless salmon makes things easy, but you can quickly remove the skin if needed with a sharp knife.
- Oil - Used to cook the salmon and veggies. I prefer the strong flavor of olive oil, but avocado oil or coconut oil works, too.
- Broccoli - Use fresh or frozen broccoli. Just make sure it’s thawed first.
- Aromatics - Fresh garlic cloves and shallots add a tangy, pungent, slightly sweet taste.
- Noodles - Ramen or rice noodles are most commonly used, but spaghetti noodles will also work.

The Best Pasta for Salmon and Noodles
Ramen or rice noodles will be the most authentic for this recipe. You will need about 3 noodle cakes. I used these millet and brown rice noodles for a healthier option. You can also use spaghetti noodles in a pinch too. However, they will take longer to cook than instant noodles. So, keep that in mind when preparing the dish.
How to Make Teriyaki Salmon and Noodles
This salmon and noodles recipe has several moving parts, but with a small bowl, a large skillet, and a large pot, it comes together in minutes!
Step 1: Prepare the teriyaki sauce. Whisk all the ingredients together in a small bowl, and set it aside.

Step 2: Coat the salmon. Remove the skin from the salmon filets, and slice them into cubes. Transfer the cubes to a bowl, and pour part of the teriyaki sauce on top. Gently toss to coat.


Step 3: Cook the salmon. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the salmon cubes, leaving space in between each piece. Cook for a few minutes on each side until the fish is completely opaque. Transfer the cooked salmon to a plate.

Step 4: Boil the noodles. Boil a pot of water, and cook the noodles according to the package instructions.
Step 5: Cook the veggies. Reduce the skillet heat to medium, and add water to deglaze the skillet. Pour out the water, or wipe the skillet clean with a towel.
Add the remaining oil and broccoli, and cook until soft. Then, add the garlic and shallots, and continue to cook until fragrant.

Step 6: Combine the ingredients. Add the cooked noodles to the skillet, and stir to combine and caramelize. Then, add the remaining teriyaki sauce, and stir to coat. Add salt, if needed.
Serve the noodles in individual bowls with salmon cubes on top, and garnish with sesame seeds and scallions for a bit of crunch.

How do I know when salmon is done?
The salmon cubes should be opaque on all sides when done. When about half of the salmon is this color, flip the pieces over so the other side can cook. Salmon should be slightly firm when done and won’t give when you press down on a piece. You can also check the doneness with a meat thermometer. Salmon is cooked at 145 F.

- Add some shaved carrots and red bell pepper for more color.
- If you like heat, add some cayenne pepper to the teriyaki marinade.

Teriyaki Salmon Noodles Expert Tips
- Cut your salmon into the same size pieces. This ensures they will all cook the same.
- Crispy salmon is the best on top of noodles. To get that crispiness, make sure the skillet is on a high enough heat.
- Timing is key for this dish. If using instant noodles, you want to start a pot of boiling water while the salmon is cooking in the skillet. This leaves enough time for the water to boil and the noodles to cook while the rest of the dish is prepared.
- Because these noodles are long and thin, instead of “stirring” them into the teriyaki sauce, you really just need to move them around with tongs or a spatula to coat each noodle
What do you eat teriyaki salmon noodles with?
Made with protein, carbs, and fiber from the vegetables, this salmon and noodles dish is a complete meal on its own. However, you could always add an extra side of steamed or sautéed vegetables or appetizers such as egg rolls or crab rangoon.
Storage
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. When ready to enjoy, add a splash of warm water to loosen up the noodles. Warm up a serving in the microwave in 20-second intervals until warmed through. Or, warm a larger portion in a skillet over medium heat.
