Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tsp grated ginger until combined.
Step 2: Heat 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Season 4 salmon fillets with black pepper and place skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes until skin is crispy.
Step 3: Flip salmon and pour the honey-soy glaze evenly over the fillets. Cook for another 3-4 minutes, spooning glaze over the top until salmon is cooked through and caramelized.
Step 4: Remove salmon and set aside. In the same skillet, add 4 halved baby bok choy and drizzle with 1 tbsp sesame oil. Sauté for 3-4 minutes until bok choy is bright green and tender.
Step 5: Plate salmon over bok choy, sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 thinly sliced green onions before serving.
