Ingredients for salmon miso stir fry
Salmon is your main ingredient here of course. I’ve used Scottish salmon but any salmon will do. Use salmon steaks or salmon fillets. A salmon tail fillet is really good for this salmon stirfry recipe as this cooks the quickest of all as it is a thinner cut of salmon.
Vegetables – it’s entirely up to you what veggies you use for your stir fry. Those bags of preprepared stir fry veggies are just perfect for this salmon stir fry recipe. I used a 200g bag of stir fry vegetables which contained cauliflower, bean sprouts, kale, aduki beans, red cabbage and bean sprouts.
I added in a clove of garlic and spring onions to finish off my salmon stir fry. And for decoration a tangle of finely shredded carrot.
Your other ingredients are some noodles – just go with your favourite noodles here. I used basic dried fine egg noodles for my salmon stir fry. Just boil the kettle while you are cooking the salmon and pour the water over the noodles and have them cooking while you do the stir-frying.
Flavouring – I have only used two flavouring elements in my salmon stir fry; miso paste which you can get in any supermarket these days. In fact you can even get it in little ready-prepared 1 tsp sachets to make things really easy. Soy sauce is my other ingredient.
Tasty alternatives
You can add in any extra flavours that you like to this salmon stir fry. I’ve kept things really simple by just using miso, soy sauce and garlic. But you could add some ginger and chilli for a kick of heat. I wanted the simple flavours here but you go as wild as you like!
Method
Unlike a standard stir fry recipe, for my salmon miso stir fry I haven’t broken up the fish and mixed everything together. I have quickly cooked my salmon first in the wok with hot oil then removed it whole and set it aside to keep warm while I quickly stir-fried the veggies.
Cook the noodles while you are stir-frying.
I wanted to keep the salmon whole as it is such a lovely piece of fish and I didn’t want it to disappear into the stir fry.

How to serve salmon miso stir fry
Having the salmon placed on top of the veggies with the noodles at the side means you can really taste the salmon in all its glory.
I’ve finished off my salmon stir fry bowl with a tangle of crispy fresh juicy carrot some tangy snipped up spring onions and a sprinkling of coriander leaves.
Save some of that delicious miso and soy sauce to drizzle over the salmon just before serving.
How many people does this serve?
This salmon miso stir fry is one of my meals for one recipes. I often find myself making meals just for one person and think it’s important to share these recipes as so many of us are singletons and dividing up recipes can be a real pain sometimes.
Want to make this salmon stir fry for more people? Easy, simply double up of the salmon and the amount of veggies you are using.
How many noodles to make
I usually work on the principle of about 57g of noodles per person. They usually come in handy packs with sections that beak off into this weight.
