Place the fillet on baking sheet.  Mix Greek Yogurt and wasabi together.  Spread on the fillet.  Bake at 350 for about 5-8 minutes.  Serve on top or next to the Somen Salad.

TIPS:

·        Add or reduce the wasabi to your taste

·        Salmon can be doubled or tripled easily

·        The recipe I am making this from used edamone instead of peas, but I had none.

·        Cool cucumber may be a nice addition or shredded zucchini

·        I like heat so I leave my seeds in the peppers
