Instructions

Step 1: Pat 8 oz salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt. Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Step 2: Place salmon skin-side down in the skillet; cook for 4 minutes until golden, then flip and cook 2 minutes more. Remove salmon and set aside.
Step 3: Add 4 oz sliced shiitake mushrooms and 2 minced garlic cloves to the skillet; sauté for 2 minutes until mushrooms soften. Stir in 1 tbsp minced ginger and 2 tbsp coconut aminos, cooking 1 minute until slightly thickened.
Step 4: Add 10 oz chopped bok choy to the skillet, tossing to coat. Cook for 3 minutes until bok choy wilts but retains crispness.
Step 5: Return salmon to the skillet, spooning sauce over it. Broil for 1 minute to glaze, then serve immediately.
