Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

5 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
3 Tbsp. low-sodium soy sauce or tamari
2 Tbsp. hot chili paste (such as sambal oelek)
2 Tbsp. honey
1 lb. skinless salmon fillet, cut into 3x1 1/2" strips
1 1/2 tsp. kosher salt, divided, plus more
3 Tbsp. cornstarch
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil
4 small heads baby bok choy (about 1 lb.), trimmed, quartered
Steamed rice (for serving; optional)
3 scallions, very thinly sliced on a diagonal
1 tsp. toasted sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Whisk vinegar, soy sauce, chili paste, and honey in a small bowl; set aside.
  • Season salmon with 1 tsp. salt. Place on a plate and sprinkle with cornstarch, turning to coat. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high. Cook salmon in a single layer, undisturbed, until golden brown underneath, 2-3 minutes. Turn and cook until other side is lightly golden, about 2 minutes. Pour sauce over salmon and continue to cook, gently turning salmon halfway through, until sauce is thickened slightly and clinging to salmon, about 1 minute. (Sauce will bubble aggressively when first added and will then calm down.)
  • Meanwhile, set a steamer basket in a large pot filled with about 1" salted water. Cover pot and bring water to a boil. Place bok choy in steamer basket, cover pot, and steam until just tender, 5-7 minutes. Season with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt.
  • Place rice (if using) and bok choy on a platter. Arrange salmon over and drizzle bok choy and salmon with any remaining sauce in skillet. Top with scallions and sesame seeds.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover salmon. I made it with some leftover grilled salmon and it was delicious.

This recipe was a waste of time. The salmon was bland and the teriyaki sauce was watery.

The salmon was overcooked and the teriyaki sauce was too salty. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This recipe was a bit too complicated for me. I ended up burning the salmon.

The salmon was a little dry, but the teriyaki sauce was delicious. I would try this recipe again, but I would cook the salmon for a shorter amount of time.

This salmon teriyaki was a hit with my family! The salmon was perfectly cooked and the teriyaki sauce was delicious. The bok choy was also a great addition and added a nice crunch to the dish.
