Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets (6 oz or 170 g each), skin-on
  • 3 tablespoons white miso paste
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 12 oz baby bok choy, halved or quartered
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Optional garnish: thinly sliced green onions or chili flakes

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons white miso paste, 2 tablespoons honey, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 teaspoon grated ginger, 1 minced garlic clove, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, and 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil until smooth and well combined (about 3 minutes).
  2. Pat dry 4 salmon fillets (6 oz each) with paper towels to help the glaze stick and skin crisp up. Set aside.
  3. Spoon or brush the honey miso glaze generously over the top of each salmon fillet. Let them sit for 10 minutes at room temperature to meld flavors.
  4. Heat a large non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium heat. Add a light drizzle of sesame oil. Place salmon fillets skin-side down and cook for 4-5 minutes without moving to crisp skin and caramelize glaze.
  5. Flip salmon carefully and cook an additional 3-4 minutes until salmon flakes easily and glaze is sticky and shiny (total cooking time about 8-9 minutes).
  6. While salmon cooks, heat 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil in a separate skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 sliced garlic cloves and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  7. Add halved baby bok choy and toss for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Splash 1 tablespoon soy sauce over bok choy and stir to combine.
  8. Remove bok choy from heat and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds.
  9. Plate honey miso glazed salmon alongside sesame bok choy. Garnish with sliced green onions or chili flakes if desired. Serve immediately.

Notes

Pat salmon dry before glazing for crisp skin. Cook over medium heat to avoid burning glaze. Let glaze rest on salmon 10 minutes before cooking. Sauté bok choy until tender-crisp to maintain crunch. For gluten-free, substitute soy sauce with tamari. Reheat leftovers gently in oven or skillet to keep moist.
