Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, and 2 minced garlic cloves until combined.
Step 2: Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season 4 salmon fillets with 1/2 teaspoon black pepper and place skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crisp.
Step 3: Flip salmon and brush the honey-ginger glaze over the cooked side. Cook an additional 3-4 minutes until salmon is opaque and glaze is caramelized.
Step 4: Remove salmon from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add 2 tablespoons sesame oil and 4 halved baby bok choy. Sauté over medium heat for 4-5 minutes until bok choy is tender but still crisp.
Step 5: Sprinkle 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions over the bok choy. Serve salmon alongside bok choy and spoon any remaining glaze over the top.
