Five Spice Salmon

I made this simple five spice salmon recently, don't know why I didn't think of using Chinese five spice to marinate salmon before. It was so simple to make and flavorful. I served it over noodles and vegetables.





Ingredients:

  • 2 salmon filets (Wild Alaskan)
  • about 1-2 tablespoon five spice
  • a little olive oil
  • one pack of Chinese egg noodles
  • one cup of beans sprouts
  • one cup of frozen mixed vegetables
  • one carrot thinly chopped
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • one teaspoon ginger/garlic paste
  • a dash of sesame oil
  • 1/2 a sliced onion
  • 2 eggs
Method:

  1. Coat the salmon in olive oil and five spice and marinate for 1 one
  2. then pan saute on medium high for 7-10 minutes until cooked
  3. meanwhile saute the onion in a little sesame oil and ginger/garlic paste, add 2 eggs and scramble into the mixture
  4. add the vegetables and soy sauce
  5. cook the noodles by boiling them for 5 minutes and mix with the vegetables
  6. serve with the salmon
  7. enjoy :-)

What's your favorite use of five spice?

  1. This looks great Rebecca. Good use of 5 spice. My fav way to use 5 spice is with tamari and garlic chili sauce and slather over pork joint (butt or shoulder blade)it is HEAVENLY.

  17. Five spice has an intriguing flavor, but I have to be careful not to use too much or it's too hot for me. Love the idea of using it with the salmon for an Asian twist.
