Salmon And Bok Choy Recipes

30-MINUTE PAN-SEARED SALMON WITH BABY BOK CHOY AND SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Combine 1 1/2 cups water with the rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the rice is tender and most of the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest. Fluff with a fork right before serving.
• Meanwhile, quarter the bok choy through the stem ends. Halve the mushroom caps (or quarter them if they are large) by stacking them and cutting them in batches.
• Heat 2 large nonstick skillets with 1 tablespoon oil in each over medium-high heat. Divide the bok choy between the two pans, placing it cut-side down. Cook, undisturbed, until charred in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. By this time, the leaves will be fairly wilted, and there will be enough room to transfer all of the bok choy into just one skillet to finish cooking. Place the bok choy so that the other cut side faces down. Cook until charred in spots, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms, scallion whites, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Continue to cook, stirring, until the bok choy and mushrooms are soft, about 4 minutes (if the skillet looks dry add 1 more tablespoon of oil). Stir in the scallion greens, then remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the soy sauce and vinegar.
• While the bok choy cooks, pat the fish dry with paper towels and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Wipe out the other skillet and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Put the salmon into the hot skillet, flesh-side down, and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook the other side to the desired level of doneness, 2 to 3 minutes more.
• Divide the vegetables and rice between 4 plates and top each with a piece of salmon. Drizzle with a little extra soy sauce.

GLAZED SALMON AND BOK CHOY SHEET PAN DINNER

Steps:

• Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the asparagus in the center of the prepared baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Roast until the asparagus just begins to change color, 5 minutes.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and place the bok choy to the left of the asparagus. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with the grated ginger, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper; toss to coat. Place the salmon fillets to the right of the asparagus, spacing them evenly apart. Brush with hoisin.
• Roast until the bok choy is tender and the leaves begin to crisp, the asparagus is tender, and the salmon is cooked through yet still moist, about 12 minutes more. Divide salmon and vegetables between two plates and top with sliced scallions.

MISO-GLAZED SALMON AND BOK CHOY

Steps:

• Stir miso, mirin, sake, brown sugar, and soy sauce in a shallow dish. Add salmon fillets; turn to coat. Marinate at room temperature, 10 to 15 minutes, or in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
• Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil. Transfer fillets onto the baking sheet, reserving marinade.
• Place bok choy in the marinade; turn to coat. Arrange bok choy next to salmon on the baking sheet, reserving marinade.
• Broil in the preheated oven until salmon is lightly charred on the edges, about 4 minutes. Flip salmon and bok choy; brush with reserved marinade. Continue cooking until salmon is browned and flakes easily with a fork, about 3 minutes. Transfer salmon to serving plates. Continue cooking bok choy until it is tender-crisp, 3 to 4 minutes more.
