Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 salmon fillets, skin-on, about 6 ounces (170g) each
  • 2 tablespoons white miso paste (shiro miso)
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh grated ginger
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 large head or 2 small bok choy, sliced in half lengthwise
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
  • Thinly sliced green onions (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons white miso paste, 2 tablespoons honey, 1 tablespoon soy sauce, 1 teaspoon rice vinegar, minced garlic, and grated ginger until smooth. Set aside.
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels to help the glaze stick and the skin crisp up nicely.
  3. Place a medium non-stick or cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 1 tablespoon of sesame oil. Let it shimmer but not smoke.
  4. Place the salmon skin-side down in the hot pan. Cook undisturbed for about 4-5 minutes until the skin is crispy and releases easily from the pan.
  5. Carefully flip the salmon over and brush the top with a generous layer of the honey miso glaze. Cook for another 3-4 minutes or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the glaze is bubbly and caramelized. Watch closely to avoid burning.
  6. While the salmon cooks, heat a second skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of sesame oil. Add halved bok choy, cut side down, and sauté for 3-4 minutes until slightly charred and tender-crisp. Season lightly with salt and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top.
  7. Serve the glazed salmon over or beside the sesame bok choy. Garnish with sliced green onions and extra sesame seeds if desired.

Notes

If glaze darkens too quickly, lower the heat to avoid burning. Pat salmon dry before cooking for best sear and glaze adherence. Brush glaze after flipping salmon to prevent burning. Bok choy can be substituted with baby spinach or kale. For gluten-free, replace soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos. Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 2 days and reheat gently.
