Step 1

Preheat oven to 375ºF.

Step 2

Combine sauce ingredients in a small bowl.

Step 3

Line a sheet pan or oven-safe skillet with parchment paper. Add the salmon (skin-side down) and drizzle about 1 Tablespoon (or more) of the prepared sauce over the top of the salmon. Bake salmon in a preheated oven on 375ºF for 15 minutes. When cooked through, let cool 3-5 minutes and then cut into 4 equal pieces, about 3 ounces each.

Step 4

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the soba and cook according to package directions, about 6-9 minutes. When there are FOUR minutes left on your timer, add the frozen edamame. Alternatively, you can add the frozen edamame to a heat-safe bowl, cover with boiling water and let sit for 3-4 minutes. When soba & edamame are cooked, strain in a colander and rinse immediately with cold water. Drizzle soba with oil of choice and toss to help prevent sticking while you finish preparing your bad-ass dinner!

Step 5

Thinly slice the cucumber into half moons, slice (or cube) the avocado, thinly slice the scallions. Mix together black and white sesame seeds if using both.

Step 6

Divide the soba and edamame among 4 bowls. Add a piece of salmon to each, and top each bowl with 1/4th of the cucumber slices, avocado, scallions, and sesame seeds. Drizzle with plenty of sauce and enjoy at room temperature.
