Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp pure maple syrup, 2 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger, and 1 minced garlic clove to create the glaze.
- Step 2: Place 2 salmon fillets skin-side down on a lined baking sheet. Brush each fillet generously with the maple glaze. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes until salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
- Step 3: While salmon roasts, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil and 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 minced garlic clove and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes, sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Step 4: Add 4 halved baby bok choy to the skillet. Season with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir-fry for 4-5 minutes, tossing occasionally, until bok choy leaves are wilted and stems are tender-crisp.
- Step 5: Remove salmon from oven and spoon any remaining glaze from the pan over fillets. Sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds over the bok choy and salmon before serving this balanced, flavorful dish.
