Ingredients

INGREDIENTS

2 salmon fillets
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon grated ginger
1 clove garlic, minced
2 bok choy, halved
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Salt and pepper to taste
Chopped green onions for garnish

Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, honey, rice vinegar, ginger, and garlic to create the teriyaki marinade.
Place salmon fillets in a shallow dish and pour half of the marinade over them. Let marinate for 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add bok choy, season with salt and pepper, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until tender and slightly wilted.
Remove bok choy from the skillet and set aside. In the same skillet, add the marinated salmon, skin-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crispy.
Flip the salmon and pour the remaining marinade over the top. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
To serve, place the bok choy on plates, top with the teriyaki salmon, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions.

Notes

Tip: For an extra depth of flavor, broil the salmon for the last minute of cooking to give it a nice caramelized finish.

Storage: Leftover salmon can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently in the oven to maintain moisture.

Ingredient Substitutions: If you don’t have bok choy, feel free to substitute with spinach or kale for a similar texture. For a gluten-free option, use tamari instead of soy sauce in the teriyaki marinade.

Variations: Add a sprinkle of sesame seeds on top for extra crunch, or include a side of jasmine rice to complete the meal.
