Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tbsp soy sauce, 1/4 cup fresh orange juice, 2 tbsp honey, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tbsp grated fresh ginger to create the citrus glaze.
  2. Step 2: Place 4 salmon fillets (5 oz each) on a rimmed sheet pan lined with parchment paper. Brush each fillet generously with half of the citrus glaze and season with 1/2 tsp black pepper.
  3. Step 3: Roast the salmon in the preheated oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and brush with the remaining glaze, then roast an additional 5 minutes until salmon flakes easily with a fork.
  4. Step 4: While salmon roasts, heat 1 tbsp sesame oil and 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb halved bok choy and 8 oz sliced shiitake mushrooms, sautéing for 5-6 minutes until the greens are tender and mushrooms browned.
  5. Step 5: Sprinkle 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes over the vegetables during the last minute of cooking for a subtle heat.
  6. Step 6: Serve the roasted salmon fillets over a bed of sautéed bok choy and shiitake mushrooms, drizzling any pan juices over the top.
