Instructions

  1. Step 1: Whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 2 tbsp honey, 1 tbsp rice vinegar, and 1 minced garlic clove in a small bowl until combined.
  2. Step 2: Pat salmon fillets dry with paper towels. Heat 1 tsp sesame oil in a non-stick skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Place salmon skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes until skin is crispy and golden.
  3. Step 3: Flip salmon and brush with 2/3 of the sauce. Cook for 3-4 minutes more until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Step 4: While salmon cooks, heat a separate skillet over medium-high. Add 1 bunch bok choy and 1 tsp sesame oil, stirring frequently until leaves are blistered and stems are tender (about 3 minutes).
  5. Step 5: Brush remaining sauce over salmon, then plate salmon over bok choy. Sprinkle with 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 1 tsp sesame seeds for garnish.
