Ingredients

  • 2 x 120 g salmon fillets
  • 1 tsp coconut oil

  • ½ cup edamame, shelled
  • 1 cup zucchini, spiralised
  • 8 snow peas, sliced thinly
  • 2 radishes, sliced thinly

  • 1 tsp minced ginger
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • Juice of ½ lime
  • Optional: 1 tsp sriracha or chilli sauce for a little kick

Method

  1. Bring a saucepan of water to the boil. Add soba noodles and cook for 6 minutes. Drain and set aside.

  3. Spiralise zucchini, and thinly slice the radish, snow peas, and spring onions.
