Method

Set the oven to Gas Mark 6 or 200°C. Cut the salmon into 2 triangular-shaped pieces and put in the middle of each sheet of baking parchment. Season with salt, pepper and Five Spice.
Sprinkle the garlic, spring onions, red pepper and sugar snaps on top. Drizzle with soy sauce and sesame oil.
Fold the baking parchment over and fold in the ends to make a parcel. Bake on a baking tray for 15 mins.
Meanwhile, put the noodles into a large ovenproof dish and pour 900ml (1½ pints) boiling water over them. Cover with foil and put into the oven for 10 mins, to soften.
Drain the noodles and toss them with the teriyaki sauce. Serve with the salmon parcels and lime slices.
