Teriyaki Salmon with Noodles

So, this recipe?  Kind of a fail.  Not a HUGE fail, like this or this... or this, but a fail nonetheless.  Part of the problem, I think, was the marinade.

You see, I was sort of following a recipe and it called for marinating salmon in teriyaki sauce with extra ginger and scallions.  I was happy because I wanted to finish up the teriyaki sauce we had since it had some ingredients I wasn't crazy about. 

So, I threw the salmon on a dish and covered it with teriyaki marinade, some grated ginger, and some scallion-ish things.

Then, since I didn't read the directions, I cooked it just like that.  I baked it.  In the oven.  With all the sauce.  

Then, I read the directions and found out that the marinade was supposed to turn into the sauce.  Oops.  Lesson learned?  Read the recipe and retain it before you begin. 

So, I had to use more of the teriyaki sauce to make the sauce itself.   I added ginger, soy sauce, rice vinegar, scallions, and some garlic to the teriyaki and brought it to a simmer.  

 Next, the yummy step!  I shredded up some cabbage and carrots and added it to the sauce with peas!

Yayyyy!!!!!!!  Hahaha, sorry I was just excited about something working!  Anyway, that deliciousness got mixed together with some macaroni.

Ehh.  It was okay.  The sauce was too thin even after I thickened it up with some corn starch.
