  1. In a small saucepan, combine ¼ cup mirin, 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, 2 tablespoons miso paste, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Heat over medium heat, stirring frequently for about 5 minutes until thickened and fragrant. Allow to cool for 15 minutes.
  2. Place 2 salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the cooled glaze over. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or overnight.
  3. In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Add 2 chopped spring onions and 3 minced garlic cloves, sauté for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice vinegar, 1 tablespoon brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons water to the skillet. Simmer for 2-3 minutes until aromatic.
  5. Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain and add to the skillet, tossing to coat well with the sauce and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
  6. Preheat the oven to 220°C (430°F). Transfer marinated salmon to a lined baking dish and drizzle any remaining glaze. Bake for 7-10 minutes until caramelized and flakes easily.
