1 Ingredients

Qty	Item
4 pieces 680 g	Salmon Fillets
0.33 cup 110 g	Honey
2 tbsp 30 ml	Soy Sauce
1 tbsp 15 ml	Lemon Juice
3 cloves 9 g	Garlic
1 tbsp 15 ml	Olive Oil
4 heads 400 g	Baby Bok Choy
1 tsp 5 ml	Toasted Sesame Oil
0.25 tsp 0.5 g	Red Pepper Flakes

2 Instructions

In a small bowl, whisk together the honey, soy sauce, lemon juice, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes to create the glaze.

Season the salmon fillets lightly with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Place salmon skin-side up in the skillet. Sear for 4 minutes until golden brown, then flip.

Pour the honey garlic mixture into the skillet. Let it simmer and reduce for 3-5 minutes while spooning the glaze over the salmon continuously until the sauce is thick and the salmon is cooked through.

While the salmon finishes, place the halved baby bok choy in a steamer basket over boiling water. Steam for 3-4 minutes until the leaves are wilted and stems are tender-crisp.

Remove bok choy and toss with toasted sesame oil. Serve the salmon immediately over or alongside the bok choy, drizzling extra glaze from the pan over everything.

·
Pat the salmon fillets completely dry with paper towels before seasoning to ensure a perfect crust.
·
Use low-sodium soy sauce if you are sensitive to salt, as the glaze reduces and concentrates flavors.
·
For an extra crunch, garnish the finished dish with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.
·
If you don't have a steamer basket, you can sauté the bok choy in the same pan after removing the salmon.
