Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp brown sugar until smooth.
- Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets skin-side down on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush the miso glaze evenly over the top of each fillet.
- Step 3: Roast salmon for 12-15 minutes until the glaze is caramelized and the fish flakes easily with a fork.
- Step 4: While the salmon roasts, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil and 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 tbsp minced fresh ginger and 2 minced garlic cloves, sautéing for 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Step 5: Add 1 lb halved baby bok choy to the skillet and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes until the greens are wilted and stalks are tender-crisp.
- Step 6: Sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions over the bok choy. Serve immediately alongside the miso-glazed salmon.
