Salmon with Ginger and Green Onions

By nlhartman

Why it's good for you: Salmon is rich in protein, low in saturated fat -- and loaded with heart-protecting omega-3 fatty acids. If serving four people, add a little more seasame oil, water, soy, to make more sauce.

Ingredients

• 1 package(s) (7 to 8 ounces) thin rice noodles, (vermicelli style)
• 4 green onions
• 1 teaspoon(s) Asian sesame oil
• 2 tablespoon(s) low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoon(s) water
• 2 teaspoon(s) peeled and grated fresh ginger
• 4 piece(s) (about 6 ounces each) salmon fillet
