Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, combine 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, and 2 tbsp honey. Stir until honey dissolves to make the glaze.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add 4 salmon fillets (5 oz each), skin-side down, and cook for 4-5 minutes until skin is crisp. Flip and brush the tops with half the ginger-soy glaze. Cook another 3-4 minutes until salmon is just cooked through and glaze is sticky. Remove salmon and keep warm.
  3. Step 3: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  4. Step 4: Add 1 lb halved bok choy and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Season with 1/2 tsp black pepper and drizzle remaining ginger-soy glaze. Toss to coat.
  5. Step 5: Plate the salmon on top of the bok choy, sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions before serving.
