Grilled Asian Salmon with a Soba Noodle Salad

We are grilling salmon tonight and I decided to give it an Asian twist. I wanted to do something other than rice as a side and this came to mind.
Cook's Notes- Ponzu sauce is a soy sauce that is flavored with a Japanese citrus fruit. It pairs very well with orange or lime.

Asian Salmon
4 6 oz portions of salmon filet, skin on

juice of 2 large oranges(about 1 cup)
zest of one orange
3/4 cups soy or Ponzu sauce
1 tablespoon honey
1/2 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce
1 inch of fresh ginger grated

Mix everything except the salmon in a small bowl. Place the salmon and marinade in a large zip lock bag for 30 minutes. Heat grill. Place a large piece of heavy duty foil over grill. Place fish on top and cook on both sides for 3-4 minutes on each side.

Soba Noodle Salad
My sobia noodles come in a package of 3 bundles. I usually use two bundles.

2/3 of a package of Soba Noodles, cooked to package directions.
1/2 cup ponzu sauce
1/4 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
1/8 cup rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 inch fresh ginger, grated
1/2 of an english cucumber, diced
1/2 a large red bell pepper, diced
3 green onions, diced
4 oz grated carrots
1/3 cup cilantro leaves
1/2 cup cashews or peanuts

Drain the noodles and run them under cold water. Place in a large salad bowl and drizzle with sesame oil. Toss to coat. Add cucumber, bell pepper, green onions, carrots and cilantro leaves to the noodles and toss again. In a small bowl mix together the ponzu sauce, chili-garlic sauce, rice wine vinegar, sugar, grated ginger. Pour over noodles and veggies. Toss to coat. Add the nuts at the last minute and serve.
