Spicy Miso-Glazed Salmon with Soba Noodles

   In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the white miso paste, mirin, soy sauce, honey, sriracha, and sesame oil until well combined. This is your miso glaze.

   Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Brush a generous amount of the miso glaze onto both sides of each salmon fillet.

   Cook the soba noodles according to package directions in a saucepan of boiling water. Once cooked, drain them in a colander and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking.

   ~10 min
