A taste of teriyaki without the heavy sauce, this creative blend of asian spices, honey, soy and brown sugar is light enough to bring out the flavors of the salmon without being too overpowering.Submitted by: LINDYWU

I'm assuming that this recipe is meant to serve two, since the directions say to divide evenly between two bowls. - 1/5/08

Good base recipe for one of my favourite meals. I like to use less fish sauce and sugar and add shredded cabbage for some extra crunch! If you add a lean protein and the extra cabbage you will eat less of the noodles and the calories stay nice and low. - 6/13/13

I thought the fish sauce was a bit overpowering. I'd have used less. Also wasn't a fan of the herbs. - 3/7/11

I would substitute splenda in the sauce as well as green leaf lettuce to make it more nutritious. You can easily make this 3 servings which would take the calories down to 206 calories which is much more reasonable. - 1/16/09

Sounds good, but a little high in calories, especially if I'm going to add a protein. - 10/9/07
