A super quick and tasty salmon recipe that's healthy and nutritious.

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup maple syrup (pure, not imitation)
  • ⅛ cup soy sauce (or gluten free tamari)
  • 1 clove garlic (large) minced
  • 1 tsp fresh ginger (heaping) grated
  • ⅛ tsp cayenne pepper (optional)
  • 12 oz salmon (2 pieces, wild-caught fresh or frozen)

  • ⅛ tsp black pepper freshly ground to taste
  • 2 heads baby bok choy cleaned and sliced, lengthwise
  • 1 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil (plus more to oil the tray)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions


  • Place a rack 5 inches below the broiler element and preheat the broiler. Line a baking sheet with foil (if desired) then oil the foil or tray.
  • Prepare the maple glaze by putting the maple syrup, soy sauce, garlic, ginger, and cayenne into a small pot then whisk together.
  • Bring to a simmer over medium heat for about 5 minutes until it starts to thicken into a syrup.
  • Remove from heat and set aside.
  • Prepare the salmon and bok choy by putting the salmon on the oiled tray and seasoning with the salt and pepper.
  • Drizzle the bok choy with the oil. Brush over each half.
  • Place the prepared salmon and bok choy in the oven under the broiler for 5 minutes.
  • Brush the salmon with some glaze and return to the broiler for another 2 or 3 minutes. You can choose to remove the bok choy, or continue to cook it alongside the fish, depending on your preference.
  • Remove the tray from the broiler when the fish and bok choy are ready.
  • Glaze the salmon with more sauce before serving.
  • Place one piece of fish on each of two plates, add two pieces of bok choy and serve with brown rice or risotto.

Notes

  • Cooking time for the salmon depends on the thickness of the fish. Watch closely to avoid overcooking.
