Ingredients

Units Scale
For the salmon:
  • 4 salmon fillets (about 6 ounces each)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tablespoons green onions, chopped (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, for garnish
For the bok choy:
  • 4 heads baby bok choy, halved lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven (5 minutes): Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the honey soy glaze (5 minutes): In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, and grated ginger until well combined.
  3. Marinate the salmon (15 minutes): Place the salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour the honey soy glaze over them. Let the salmon marinate for at least 15 minutes, turning occasionally to ensure they are well coated.
  4. Prepare the bok choy (5 minutes): While the salmon is marinating, place the halved bok choy on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and toss to coat. Arrange the bok choy cut side down on the baking sheet.
  5. Roast the bok choy (15 minutes): Roast the bok choy in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until tender and slightly charred around the edges.
  6. Cook the salmon (10-12 minutes): Heat a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the marinated salmon fillets, skin side down, to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, then flip the fillets and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for another 5-6 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  7. Finish the bok choy (2 minutes): Once the bok choy is roasted, drizzle with sesame oil and soy sauce, then toss to coat.
  8. Serve: Plate the roasted bok choy alongside the glazed salmon fillets. Garnish the salmon with sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

For best results, make sure not to overcook the salmon to keep it moist and tender. The honey soy glaze can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.

This dish pairs wonderfully with steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal. Enjoy this salmon dish as a nutritious and flavorful dinner option!
