Ingredients

• 4 pieces salmon fillets
• 2 heads bok choy
• 200 grams cremini mushrooms
• 3 pieces garlic cloves
• 1 tablespoon fresh ginger
• 3 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
• 0.5 teaspoons salt
• 0.25 teaspoons black pepper
• 1 piece lime

Directions

Step 1

Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season them with salt and black pepper on both sides.

Step 2

Trim the ends off the bok choy, separate the leaves, and rinse them thoroughly. Slice any large leaves lengthwise into halves or quarters.

Step 3

Clean the cremini mushrooms and slice them into thick slices.

Step 4

Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Peel and finely grate 1 tablespoon of fresh ginger.

Step 5

In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, sesame oil, honey, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.

Step 6

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet and sear for 3-4 minutes until golden brown. Flip the fillets and cook for another 2-3 minutes. Remove the salmon from the pan and set aside.

Step 7

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 8

Add the mushrooms to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until they release their moisture and start to brown slightly.

Step 9

Add the bok choy leaves to the skillet and toss with the mushrooms. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bok choy begins to wilt but still retains its crispness.

Step 10

Pour the soy sauce mixture over the bok choy and mushrooms, stirring well to coat the vegetables evenly in the sauce.

Step 11

Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, placing them on top of the vegetables. Cover the skillet with a lid and let everything cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Step 12

Squeeze the juice of one lime over the entire dish and serve immediately. Enjoy!
