Ingredients:

Traditional packaged ramen or noodle soups are high in sodium and low in overall nutrition. Although their labels often state that the noodles are for two servings, one package is easily consumed as a full serving.

Asian Noodles with Poached Alaska Salmon is a lower-sodium noodles dish that adds protein with healthy omega-3-fats, vegetables and flavor.

Add sauce packets, noodles and vegetables; drizzle with soy sauce. Cover pan tightly and cook an additional 2 to 4 minutes for frozen salmon or 1 to 2 minutes for fresh/thawed fish. Cook just until fish is opaque throughout.

Serve salmon with noodles, vegetables and broth.
