Salmon pad thai step by step
- Soak rice noodles in warm water for 35-45 minutes..
- Place salmon portions on a plate and cover well with the seasonings for the salmon. Let sit until noodles are ready to cook..
- When ready, heat 2 large frying pans over medium high heat. Add oil to both pans when hot..
- In one pan, add noodles, fish sauce, soy sauce, and vinegar. You may need to add up to a 1/4 additional water to get noodles tender. Add water after noodles are well coated with the other ingredients..
- In the other pan, place salmon skin side down. Fry until skin starts to become crispy and lightly browned. This should take 7-9 minutes..
- As noodles start to get tender, add the rest of the ingredients for the pad thai. Saute until noodles are well coated and the moisture turns to a glaze..
- Flip salmon over and saute for about 4 more minutes. Careful of the thickness of the salmon I used a thick cut of king salmon. If yours is thinner it probably will need less time. Do not dry the fish out..
