Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, and 2 tbsp soy sauce until well combined.
  2. Step 2: Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season 4 salmon fillets with 1/4 tsp black pepper and place skin-side down in the pan. Cook for 4 minutes until edges are crispy.
  3. Step 3: Flip salmon and pour honey-ginger glaze over the fillets. Cook for an additional 3 minutes, spooning glaze over the salmon until it thickens and coats the fish.
  4. Step 4: Remove salmon from skillet and set aside. Add remaining 1 tbsp vegetable oil and 4 minced garlic cloves to the skillet, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Step 5: Add 1 lb chopped bok choy and cook, stirring frequently, for 4 minutes until wilted but still bright green.
  6. Step 6: Serve salmon over garlic bok choy, garnished with 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions.

Frequently asked questions

How do I store leftover Honey-Ginger Glazed Salmon with Garlic Bok Choy?

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep honey from drying out.

Can I substitute ingredients in Honey-Ginger Glazed Salmon with Garlic Bok Choy?

Yes — most ingredients in this recipe have flexible swaps. For oil, use any neutral high-smoke-point oil (avocado, grapeseed, refined coconut). For aromatics, dried herbs at ⅓ the volume of fresh work in a pinch. The full ingredient list is shoppable on Instacart so you can see substitutes in real time.

How do I scale Honey-Ginger Glazed Salmon with Garlic Bok Choy for a different number of people?
