Salmon and soba noodles turned out to be a great combination. I adapted this recipe from an old issue of Food & Wine, opting to bake the fish instead of frying "each side on a non-stick skillet". To that end, I made twice as much sauce as the magazine specified and used half of it for marinating the salmon briefly.Make the sauce by mixing soy sauce, lemon juice, ginger, and sesame oil. Use half of the sauce to marinade the fish for a bit. Preheat the oven to 400F. Get the noodles cooking using the instructions on the package and drain them when done. Remove the fish from the marinade, drizzle sesame seeds all over it, place in a oiled baking dish and put it in the oven. Combine the noodles with the other half of the sauce and mix in the chopped scallions. When the fish is close to done (about 15 minutes), place the noodles into the oven to warm them up.
