3 tablespoons fresh lime juice (from 2 limes)
2 to 3 teaspoons wasabi paste
1 piece (1 1/2 inches long) fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
Coarse salt and ground pepper

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 tablespoons olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
8 baby bok choy, halved lengthwise
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons soy molasses sauce, recipe follows, or oyster sauce
1/3 cup soy sauce

Steps:

  • Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil and heat until shimmering. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds. Add the bok choy cut-side down and cook, continuing to stir the garlic to keep it from burning but without moving the bok choy to get a nice even sear, until the bok choy is dark brown on the bottom, 2 to 3 minutes.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 small bunch thin asparagus (about 10 ounces), tough ends snapped off
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
Two 6-ounce skinless salmon fillets (about 1 1/2 inches thick)
4 teaspoons hoisin sauce
4 baby bok choy (about 10 ounces), halved lengthwise
1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated, (about 1 tablespoon)
1 scallion, thinly sliced on a bias

Steps:

  • Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Lay the asparagus in the center of the prepared baking sheet, drizzle with 1 tablespoon olive oil and toss with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Roast until the asparagus just begins to change color, 5 minutes.
  • Remove the baking sheet from the oven and place the bok choy to the left of the asparagus. Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and sprinkle with the grated ginger, 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon black pepper; toss to coat. Place the salmon fillets to the right of the asparagus, spacing them evenly apart. Brush with hoisin.
  • Roast until the bok choy is tender and the leaves begin to crisp, the asparagus is tender, and the salmon is cooked through yet still moist, about 12 minutes more. Divide salmon and vegetables between two plates and top with sliced scallions.

30-MINUTE PAN-SEARED SALMON WITH BABY BOK CHOY AND SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS



30-Minute Pan-Seared Salmon with Baby Bok Choy and Shiitake Mushrooms image

We kept the bok choy in big pieces and stacked the mushrooms caps before slicing to cut down on the veggie prep in this quick weeknight dinner. Use leftover rice if you have it on hand, but a fresh batch cooks in well under 30 minutes.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     main-dish

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

3/4 cup basmati rice
Kosher salt
4 heads baby bok choy
1/4 pound shiitake mushrooms, stemmed
3 to 4 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 scallions, white parts thinly sliced, green parts cut into 1-inch lengths
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce, plus more for drizzling
1/2 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
Four 6-ounce salmon fillets, skin removed

Steps:

  • Combine 1 1/2 cups water with the rice and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer until the rice is tender and most of the water is absorbed, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and let rest. Fluff with a fork right before serving.
  • Meanwhile, quarter the bok choy through the stem ends. Halve the mushroom caps (or quarter them if they are large) by stacking them and cutting them in batches.
  • Heat 2 large nonstick skillets with 1 tablespoon oil in each over medium-high heat. Divide the bok choy between the two pans, placing it cut-side down. Cook, undisturbed, until charred in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. By this time, the leaves will be fairly wilted, and there will be enough room to transfer all of the bok choy into just one skillet to finish cooking. Place the bok choy so that the other cut side faces down. Cook until charred in spots, about 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms, scallion whites, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Continue to cook, stirring, until the bok choy and mushrooms are soft, about 4 minutes (if the skillet looks dry add 1 more tablespoon of oil). Stir in the scallion greens, then remove the skillet from the heat. Stir in the soy sauce and vinegar.
  • While the bok choy cooks, pat the fish dry with paper towels and sprinkle with 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Wipe out the other skillet and add 1 tablespoon vegetable oil. Put the salmon into the hot skillet, flesh-side down, and cook until golden brown and crisp, about 4 minutes. Flip with a spatula and cook the other side to the desired level of doneness, 2 to 3 minutes more.
  • Divide the vegetables and rice between 4 plates and top each with a piece of salmon. Drizzle with a little extra soy sauce.

Provided by Dara

Categories     Asian Recipes

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

¼ cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon wasabi paste
1 clove garlic, minced
½ teaspoon grated ginger
1 tablespoon water, or as needed
salt and ground black pepper to taste
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
2 scallions, thinly sliced, whites and greens separated
2 cloves garlic, minced
½ teaspoon grated ginger
2 heads bok choy, ends trimmed and leaves separated
1 tablespoon water
4 (6 ounce) salmon fillets
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Combine mayonnaise, lime juice, wasabi paste, 1 clove garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon ginger in a small bowl. Add just enough water to give dressing a drizzling consistency. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat. Add white parts of the scallions, 2 cloves garlic, and 1/2 teaspoon ginger. Stir until softened, about 2 minutes. Add bok choy and 1 tablespoon water. Cook until leaves wilt, about 3 minutes. Season with salt. Transfer bok choy mixture to a plate.
  • Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Pat salmon dry with paper towels; season with salt and pepper. Place salmon skin-side down in the skillet. Cook until skin is crispy, about 6 minutes. Flip salmon and reduce heat to medium. Cook until flesh is opaque, about 4 minutes more.
  • Transfer salmon to serving plates; drizzle wasabi dressing on top. Garnish with green parts of the scallions. Serve bok choy mixture alongside.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality salmon: Opt for wild-caught salmon for a more intense flavor and a higher nutritional value.
  • Season the salmon well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and herbs like dill or thyme to enhance the salmon's natural flavor.
  • Sear the salmon skin-side down: This will create a crispy skin and help prevent the salmon from sticking to the pan.
  • Cook the salmon to your desired doneness: The ideal internal temperature for salmon is 145°F (63°C) for medium-rare or 155°F (68°C) for medium.
  • Make the wasabi dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld.
  • Wilt the bok choy just before serving: This will help it retain its crisp texture.

Conclusion:

This pan-seared salmon with wasabi dressing and bok choy is a delightful dish that combines the rich flavors of salmon, the spicy kick of wasabi, and the freshness of bok choy. It's a quick and easy meal that's perfect for a busy weeknight dinner. Serve it with a side of rice or quinoa for a complete meal. This recipe is sure to become a favorite in your household.
