Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces (6-ounce each) salmon fillets
- 4 heads baby bok choy
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 tablespoons sliced scallions (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
Rinse the baby bok choy thoroughly and slice each head in half lengthwise. Pat them dry gently with a kitchen towel.
In a small mixing bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, garlic, and grated ginger to create the glaze.
Place the salmon fillets and bok choy halves on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the bok choy and sprinkle with salt and pepper.
Brush the soy-ginger glaze generously over the salmon fillets, coating them evenly. Reserve a small amount of glaze for later, if desired.
Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. The bok choy should be tender with lightly crisped edges.
Optional: In the last 2 minutes of baking, switch the oven to broil for a golden glaze on the salmon.
Remove from the oven and let rest for 2 minutes. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions before serving, if desired.
Serve the baked salmon alongside the roasted bok choy for a healthy and delicious meal.
