Easy Salmon Ramen Recipe
This salmon ramen recipe is pretty easy to follow! In a nutshell, I recommend putting a pot of water to boil on your stove, preheating the oven, whipping up the sauce, and cutting up your vegetables first. This way when everything’s ready to go, dinner will come together quickly. Carter absolutely loves this recipe and I’ll have to say it’s a favorite of mine too!
Baked Salmon
Salmon is the perfect protein choice for a ramen dish when baked with a semi-sweet Asian sauce. It’s flaky texture and rich flavor effortlessly complement the comforting noodles. Additionally, salmon offers health benefits with its omega-3 fatty acids.
Asian Sauce
Making the sauce in a mason jar has become one of my go-to kitchen tricks. It’s incredibly easy and oh-so-satisfying to add all the ingredients to the jar, give it a good shake, and watch as the flavors meld together.
What vegetables are best to top ramen with?
When it comes to crafting the perfect Salmon Ramen, there’s no denying that broccoli, onion, carrots, red peppers, and garlic are the ultimate vegetable dream team. These veggies bring an explosion of flavor, texture, and vibrant colors to the dish, taking it to a whole new level. Tastes and looks SO good! I always cut veggies up earlier in the day to save me time when it’s time to cook dinner!
What to add to garlic ramen?
Garlic is a must-add ingredient in ramen, and I personally love it. I use fresh minced garlic in all my recipes. Having the right garlic tools makes the process quick and you can beat that flavor! Its adds depth and richness to the dish, enhancing every spoonful. It brings a wonderful balance of savory and slightly sweet flavors that complement the other ingredients in the ramen. Once you’ve experienced the delightful presence of garlic in your ramen, it’s hard to imagine it without this flavorful ingredient.
Sauteed Veggies for Salmon Ramen
What I love about this salmon ramen recipe is that everything comes together pretty quickly! I recommend cutting up all your veggies beforehand even maybe earlier in the day so it doesn’t feel too overwhelming when it’s time to cook dinner.
Ramen Noodles
Who doesn’t love Ramen noodles… They take me right back to my childhood, and I love that we’re still incorporating them into our meals today! With this recipe, you’re really only going to cook the ramen noodles for a minute or two to keep them still substantial, and a little chewy! I hope you like this recipe and make sure to check out the other fun recipes and projects we are working on.
