Quick Summary

A balanced, heart-healthy dinner featuring oven-baked salmon fillets nestled with sautéed baby bok choy, ginger, and soy. Ready in 30 minutes, it provides high-quality protein and essential omega-3s.

Ingredients

4 salmon fillets (6oz each)
4 heads baby bok choy
2 tbsp avocado oil
1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced

3 cloves garlic, sliced
2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
1 tsp toasted sesame oil
1 tbsp sesame seeds

Method

1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Trim the base of the bok choy and slice each head in half lengthwise. Rinse well.
3. Arrange salmon and bok choy on the sheet. Drizzle both with oil, ginger, garlic, and soy sauce.
4. Roast for 12–15 minutes until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the bok choy is tender yet crisp.
5. Drizzle with sesame oil and sprinkle with seeds before serving.

Stewart's Secret: If you prefer extra crunch, toss the bok choy in the soy-ginger mixture for 5 minutes before adding the salmon to the pan. This ensures the greens pick up more flavor without overcooking the fish.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use fillets with the skin on?

Yes, skin-on salmon works beautifully here. Place it skin-side down to keep the fillet moist.

What can I substitute for bok choy?

If bok choy isn't available, chard or kale are excellent substitutes that roast well.

How do I know the salmon is done?

The internal temperature should reach 145°F, or the flesh should be opaque and flake easily when pressed with a fork.
