Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of teriyaki sauce, 1/4 cup of soy sauce, 2 tablespoons of honey, 2 minced garlic cloves, and 1 tablespoon of grated ginger until well combined.
- Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in a baking dish and pour half of the teriyaki sauce mixture over them. Reserve the remaining sauce for later.
- Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through and flaking easily with a fork.
- While the salmon is baking, heat 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add the bok choy halves to the skillet, cut side down, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning once, until the bok choy is tender-crisp and vibrant green.
- Pour the reserved teriyaki sauce mixture over the cooked bok choy and toss gently to coat evenly.
- To serve, place a bed of bok choy on each plate and top with a salmon fillet. Garnish with sliced green onions and toasted sesame seeds for an extra crunch and flavor.

- For a spicier kick, add a teaspoon of sriracha or chili flakes to the teriyaki sauce mixture.
- Feel free to substitute the salmon with chicken breast or tofu for a different protein option.
- Serve with steamed rice or quinoa for a complete meal.
