Ingredients
1 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, smashed
4 salmon fillets, about 1 1/2 pounds
4-6 heads baby bok choy, root ends trimmed
Directions
In a small saucepan, combine soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, sliced ginger, and smashed garlic. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture reduces by half and becomes glossy (about 10-12 minutes). Set the glaze aside to cool slightly.
While the glaze is reducing, prepare the bok choy by rinsing the heads thoroughly and trimming the root ends.
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the salmon fillets skin-side up in the pan. Cook for 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and the bottom is lightly browned.
Flip the salmon fillets and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes on the flesh side. The salmon should reach an internal temperature of 145°F at its thickest point.
Pour the honey-soy glaze over the salmon fillets and turn the heat to medium. Arrange the bok choy around the salmon in the skillet.
Continue cooking for 3-4 minutes, stirring the bok choy occasionally, until it is tender and the glaze has coated both the salmon and vegetables evenly. The total cooking time ensures the salmon reaches the safe internal temperature.
Transfer the salmon fillets to serving plates and divide the glazed bok choy among them. Spoon any remaining glaze from the pan over the top and serve immediately.
