This recipe is delicious and was inspired by a recipe I received from Home Chef. The difference in my version is that I used jalapeño instead of a Fresno Chile. It makes 2 servings but if you want more just double it.

Teriyaki Ginger Salmon

Yields2 Servings
Prep Time20 minsCook Time25 minsTotal Time45 mins

Ingredients:

 12 oz salmon fillets (2 fillets)
 2 heads of baby boy choy
 10 oz carrots
 1 jalapeño pepper
 3 garlic cloves
 2 green onions
 2 oz Teriyaki Glaze
 1 tbsp chopped ginger
 1 tbsp Olive Oil

Directions:

1

Wash your produce.

2

Preheat oven to 425.

3

Remove the dry or discolored outer leaves of the bok choy and discard them. Cut the bok choy into 1/2" by 1/2" pieces. Coarsely chop leaves.

4

Peel and trim tips from the carrots. Slice diagonally into 1/4" slices.

5

Cut jalapeño into 1/4" slices. Add seeds to your taste (more seeds = spicy).

6

Trim and discard the root section of the green onions. Cut the white portion into 1" pieces. Cut the green portions into thin strips.

7

Rinse and dry the salmon. Add salt and pepper to taste. I used about 1/4 tsp of salt.

8

In a small bowl, add the teriyaki glaze, 1 minced garlic clove, and 1/2 tbsp of chopped ginger. Mix thoroughly and set aside.

9

In a medium pan, add 1/2 tsp of olive oil and sear the salmon for 2-4 minutes on medium-high heat until brown on one side. Transfer salmon onto a baking sheet with the golden brown size up and brush on the teriyaki glaze mixture. Cook in oven 5-8 minutes or until 145 degrees.

10

Add the carrots to the pan you used to cook the salmon. Add 1/2 tsp olive oil. Cook 2-3 minutes until starting to tender slightly.

11

Add the bok choy and white onion pieces. Cook for 2 minutes. Add the remaining minced garlic clove and 1/2 tsp of ginger. Add the jalapeño. Cook an additional 3-4 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste. I used about 1/4 tsp salt.

12

Add the vegetable mixture to two plates divided evenly. Add the salmon on top. Drizzle the remaining teriyaki sauce. Add 2-3 green onion strips to garnish.
