Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS:
  • 1 8 oz package of udon noodles (I used the Eden brand Kamut udon)
  • 3 large leaves of kale, de-stemmed and sliced thinly
  • 1 lb hot smoked salmon, cut into small pieces (I used wild sockeye)
  • ΒΌ cup butter, cut into small chunks for even melting time
  • 1 lemon, cut into 4 wedges
  • Optional: Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
  1. Fill a large pot with water and place over high heat on the stove. Once the water is boiling, cook the noodles according to package directions. Place the kale and salmon in a large bowl off to the side. Once the pasta is done, strain it and add to the bowl with the kale and salmon, stir to combine and cover to keep the heat in. The warmth from the pasta will soften the kale and warm up the salmon. Rinse the pot and place back on the hot element on the stove. Add in the butter, turn the heat down to medium and cook for 4-5 minutes until the color darkens, whisking continuously. It should melt quickly and start foaming a bit. Remove it immediately once the color becomes light brown and it starts to smell nutty because it can go from perfect to burnt very quickly. Add the butter to the other ingredients, top with a dash of salt and pepper and toss it altogether. Plate with the lemon wedges and squirt the juice over top before eating.
