Steps

  1. oven to 220°C. Line a small oven tray with baking paper. Bring a medium pot of salted water to the boil.

  3. Place noodles in pot of boiling water, stir, cover and turn off heat. Leave for 4–6 minutes until al dente (just tender). Drain and toss with a drizzle of sesame oil. Snip in a few place to make them easier to eat.
  4. Remove salmon from marinade (reserve marinade), place on prepared tray and bake for about 8 minutes for medium, or until cooked to your liking.
  5. Heat a drizzle of oil in a medium fry-pan or wok (preferably nonstick) on medium to high heat and stir-fry noodles for 2–3 minutes, until noodles are just going crispy. Pour in reserved marinade and fish/soy sauce and toss to combine well.
  6. In a medium bowl, combine cabbage, asparagus, apple, shallot and herbs. Mix all dressing ingredients together and toss half through salad, to taste.
  7. Place some noodles onto a plate and top with salad and salmon. Drizzle over remaining dressing and sprinkle with herbs.
