Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces salmon fillets (skin-on or skinless)
- 4 heads baby bok choy
- 2 tablespoons fresh ginger (peeled and grated)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 0.25 cup soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
- 2 stalks scallions (thinly sliced, optional garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil for easy cleanup.
In a small bowl, whisk together grated ginger, minced garlic, soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, and sesame oil to create the marinade and sauce.
Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet, skin-side down if the skin is on. Spoon half of the marinade over the fillets, spreading it evenly.
Place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. You can broil the salmon for an additional 2-3 minutes for caramelized edges if desired.
While the salmon is baking, prepare the bok choy. Rinse the bok choy under cold water to remove any dirt, then cut each head in half lengthwise.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the bok choy (cut side down) and sauté for 2 minutes. Flip the bok choy, then add the remaining half of the marinade to the skillet. Cover and let cook for 3-4 minutes, until the bok choy is tender but still crisp.
Once the salmon is cooked, remove it from the oven and let it rest for 2 minutes.
Serve each salmon fillet with a generous portion of bok choy. Drizzle any remaining sauce from the skillet over the top. Garnish with sesame seeds and sliced scallions, if desired.
Enjoy your flavorful Ginger Soy Salmon Bok Choy for a delicious and nutritious meal!
