Instructions: 

  1. Pre-heat oven to broil on 500.

  5. Shake any extra marinade off of the salmon and place on foil lined baking sheet.
  6. Broil the salmon for 6-10 minutes depending on the thickness of the pieces.
  7. While the salmon cooks, make the beurre blanc. Mix the lemongrass paste, the soy, and rice wine vinegar in a small saucepan.
  8. Cook on medium heat and reduce by half, until a syrupy consistency.
  9. Turn the heat to low, and slowly whisk in the butter one cube at a time, until fully incorporated.
  10. Season to taste with salt, white pepper, and lime juice.
  11. To make the stir-fried veggies, heat a pan with the sesame oil over medium heat.
  12. Add the onions and peppers and cook until translucent and slightly softened. Add the snow peas and cook until desired doneness.
  13. Take the cooked pasta and place in bowl with the veggies on top. Add the cooked salmon and ladle the burre blanc on top.
