Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 small heads bok choy, washed and halved lengthwise
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seeds (optional)
  • 2 stalks green onions, chopped

Instructions

  1. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season both sides lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together honey, soy sauce, minced garlic, rice vinegar, and grated ginger until well combined. Set aside.
  3. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the halved bok choy cut-side down and cook for 3-4 minutes until lightly browned and slightly wilted. Flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Remove from pan and keep warm.
  4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan and increase heat to medium-high. Place salmon fillets skin-side down carefully. Press down gently with a spatula for 10 seconds to prevent curling. Cook for 4-5 minutes without moving until skin is golden and crispy.
  5. Flip salmon and cook for another 2-3 minutes until just cooked through.
  6. Lower heat to medium and pour the honey garlic glaze over the salmon. Spoon the sauce over the fillets as it thickens for about 1-2 minutes until sticky and coating the fish.
  7. Arrange the bok choy on plates, place salmon on top, drizzle any remaining glaze, and sprinkle with sesame seeds and chopped green onions. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pat salmon dry for crispy skin. Use a hot pan and press salmon down gently to prevent curling. Cook salmon in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding. Lower heat if glaze starts to burn. Leftovers keep well for 2 days; reheat gently in skillet to preserve crispiness. Glaze can be prepared up to 3 days ahead and warmed before use.
