Salmon Stir-Fry

To me, nothing is better than something really good for you, mixed with just a smidge of something not so good for you.  That’s how I feel about this Salmon Stir-Fry.  It’s got tons of vegetables, is cooked in very little oil and has a healthy serving of good-for-you salmon.  But underneath all that healthy stuff lies my favorite part of any stir fry – soba noodles, which are basically Ramen noodles without the blood pressure raising little packet of flavored salt.  Soba noodles are available in the Asian section of most supermarkets and they add the perfect amount of richness to just about any dish – like this Pork Noodle Soup.  If you want to bypass the noodles, you can substitute brown rice.  But I wouldn’t.  I have nothing against those fiber-rich little grains, but what fun is being so good, if you can’t enjoy a little bad?
