Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Salmon fillets
- 4 heads Baby bok choy
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Honey
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 1 inch Ginger
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Sesame seeds
- 2 stalks Green onions
Instructions
Preheat a grill or grill pan to medium-high heat.
Rinse the salmon fillets under cool water and pat them dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of olive oil, soy sauce, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger to create the marinade.
Brush the marinade over the salmon fillets, ensuring even coverage. Let them rest for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
While the salmon marinates, wash the baby bok choy thoroughly and cut each head in half lengthwise.
In a separate small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt to create a dressing for the bok choy.
Place the salmon fillets on the preheated grill. Cook for 4-5 minutes on each side, or until the salmon is opaque and easily flakes with a fork. Remove from the grill and set aside.
Place the halved baby bok choy on the grill, cut side down. Grill for 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes, until slightly charred and tender-crisp.
Plate the grilled salmon alongside the baby bok choy. Drizzle the lemon dressing over the bok choy for added flavor.
Garnish the dish with sesame seeds and thinly sliced green onions before serving.
Serve immediately and enjoy your Grilled Salmon with Baby Bok Choy!
