Preparation

For noodle salad, in large pot of boiling water, cook noodles for 3-4 minutes or according to package directions. Drain and rinse well under cold running water. In large bowl, combine tahini, soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil and ginger. Whisk to combine. Toss rinsed noodles in dressing. On large platter, arrange noodles and cucumber.

For salmon, combine soy, mirin, vinegar, brown sugar and ginger in a container large enough to hold the side of salmon. Marinate 30 minutes in the fridge. Preheat grill to high. Remove salmon from marinade and pat dry. Lightly oil grill. Cook salmon for 3-4 minutes until well seared. Using large spatula, flip salmon in one motion and cook another 3-5 minutes. Remove and place on noodle salad. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds.
