NOMAD’s Faroe Island Salmon “Carbonara”

Tastemaker

April 8, 2023

Even on a chilly spring evening, the vibes at Bay Harbor’s NOMAD—and the sunlight streaming in through the building’s floor-to-ceiling windows—are plenty warm and inviting. The restaurant’s menu has an array of small plates and snacks made for sharing, but if you’re extra hungry (or want leftovers to take home), we recommend leveling up with the Faroe Island Salmon “Carbonara” ($36). Udon noodles are the base of the dish, peppered with a touch of heat from the gochujang sauce, aka a sweet and spicy red chili paste. The noodles are topped with kimchi, scallion, seaweed salad, and pea shoots, so you know you’re getting your veggies. But wait—there’s more! A sunny side up egg, crispy bits of lardon, and a generous slab of salmon complete the dish. Get it while the winter menu is still available at 795 Front Street in Bay Harbor.
