Help with dinner??

Question

I have marinaded some salmon fillets in soy and lemon and I have chargrilled some asparagus and peppers. I want to add the sliced veg to some noodles but what can I add to give the noodles some juices or a slight sauce? I don't want to use olive oil. Any ideas please??

Answer 1

use whats left from the marinade that way you won't have to many flavors going on at once.

Answer 2

You can cook the noodles in broth or you can make a peanut sauce using peanut butter and some broth or water to thin it out. Use about 1/4 cup of peanut butter in a small sauce pan. Add broth water or even coconut milk to thin out the peanut butter on a low flame. Stir until smooth and add a little red pepper and salt to your taste. Toss the noodles in the sauce and serve. I think the peanut sauce might work well with what you've already prepared. It will keep with the Asian theme.

Answer 3

If you want to compliment the salmon and the veggies, I would recommend using a very light lemon butter sauce. Just blend a little garlic, butter and straight juice from one lemon, and you should be good. This will also really bring out the grille-taste of the veggies.

Answer 4

I would use some of the liquid from the Salmon, i.e., the lemon and soy and possibly stretch it out with a little chicken stock. If you simmer it for a few minutes to thicken and add a touch of butter for the final touch it should be perfect.

Answer 5

I know you don't want to use olive oil but you might want to consider a flavored one. Maybe Garlic or Sundried tomato?
Or you can always use orange juice or chicken/veg stock.

Answer 6

how about a cream sauce with heavy cream, white wine, butter and some spices or herbs like parsley.

Answer 7

vegetable or chicken stock cubes crumbled into the water works a treat

Answer 8

simple soy sauce will do teh trick for you, or if you want it a little tangier, add lea and perrins

Answer 9

try lime
