Bring stock to boil with garlic clove and soy sauce in one pan

Bring another pan of water to a boil for cooking the noodles.

Mix the ingredients for the glaze together and brush one surface of each salmon fillet with the glaze.

Broil the salmon fillets (4 min on each side). The flesh should flake easily and the center should remain a bright pink. Remove from the broiler and set aside.

Boil the noodles for 3 minutes, until soft. Alternatively, cook according to the package instruction. Drain and rinse.

Remove the garlic from the stock, then bring the stock back to a boil.

Drop in the spinach leaves and scallions and let boil until the leaves are just wilted. Use a slotted spoon to remove the spinach and scallions and then divide them between 4 large bowls.

Divide the noodles between the bowls, then add salmon fillet to each. Carefully pour the boiling stock into each bowl. Sprinkle with bean sprouts, chile slices, and cilantro leaves.
