Ingredients
- 1 pound salmon fillets, skinless and boneless
- ¼ cup teriyaki sauce Plus extra for drizzling.
- 8 ounces rice noodles

Instructions
- Start by marinating the salmon. Cut the salmon fillets into 1-inch cubes and place them in a bowl. Add ¼ cup of teriyaki sauce, tossing to coat evenly. Let it marinate for at least 15 minutes.
- While the salmon is marinating, prepare the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Once ready, drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
- For the salad, in a large mixing bowl, combine the bell peppers, cucumber, and shredded carrots. Drizzle with sesame oil and lime juice, then toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Preheat the grill or grill pan over medium heat. Thread the marinated salmon cubes onto the skewers.
- Grill the skewers for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is cooked through and has nice grill marks. Brush with extra teriyaki sauce while grilling for added flavor.
- To serve, divide the rice noodles among four plates, top with the vegetable salad, and place the grilled salmon skewers on top. Garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds if desired. Drizzle with additional teriyaki sauce.
