Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk 3 tbsp white miso paste, 2 tbsp mirin, 1 tbsp soy sauce, and 1 tbsp brown sugar until smooth. Brush this glaze evenly over 4 salmon fillets.
Step 2: Place salmon on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork and glaze is caramelized.
Step 3: While salmon bakes, heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil and 2 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
Step 4: Add 1 lb halved baby bok choy to the skillet, tossing to coat with oil and ginger. Cook for 5-6 minutes until leaves are wilted and stems are tender-crisp.
Step 5: Sprinkle 1 tbsp toasted sesame seeds and 2 tbsp sliced green onions over the bok choy. Serve salmon atop or alongside the bok choy.
