Orange Salmon with noodles

Ingredients

1-1/4 pounds salmon fillet
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon cracked black pepper
1/2 pound buckwheat (soba) or whole wheat noodles
1/3 cup orange juice
2 oranges, peeled, sectioned, and chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1/4 cup chopped red onion and/or sliced green onion
2 teaspoons anise seed, crushed

Directions

1. In a 2-quart baking dish combine 1 tablespoon of the olive oil, 1 tablespoon of the balsamic vinegar, and the cracked pepper. Place fish in the mixture; turn to coat both sides. Marinate at room temperature for 10 minutes.

2. Place the fish on the unheated rack of a broiler pan; broil 4 inches from the heat just until fish flakes easily with a fork. (Allow 4 to 6 minutes per 1/2-inch thickness of fish.) Turn fish after half of broiling time.

3. Meanwhile, in a large saucepan cook buckwheat noodles about 4 minutes or whole wheat noodles 8 to 10 minutes, or until just slightly chewy. Drain; place in a large bowl. Add remaining olive oil, remaining balsamic vinegar, orange juice, chopped orange, garlic, onion, and crushed anise seed; toss to coat. Top each serving with a piece of salmon.
