Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp honey, 3 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp finely grated fresh ginger until combined. Place 4 salmon fillets on a lined baking sheet and brush each with half of the honey-soy mixture. Bake for 10 minutes.
  2. Step 2: While salmon bakes, heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 cloves minced garlic and the remaining 1 tbsp grated ginger, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 lb halved bok choy to the skillet, tossing to coat in the garlic-ginger oil. Sauté for 4-5 minutes until the bok choy stalks are tender but leaves still crisp. Drizzle 1 tsp sesame oil over the bok choy and season with black pepper to taste.
  4. Step 4: Remove salmon from oven and brush with the remaining honey-soy glaze. Serve salmon on plates alongside the ginger stir-fried bok choy, garnished with 2 thinly sliced green onions.
