Best 6 Seared Salmon With Ponzu And Baby Bok Choy Recipes

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

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.

SEARED BOK CHOY

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. Add the soy sauce, soy molasses or oyster sauce and a few tablespoons of water. Serve immediately or cover and hold in the skillet until ready to serve.
• Combine the soy sauce, molasses, sesame oil, garlic, ginger powder, fish sauce, rice wine vinegar and honey in a saucepan on medium-high heat. Bring to a slight boil, whisking or stirring constantly. Cook for 4 to 5 minutes. Set aside.

• 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.

• In a small bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, sake, soy sauce, garlic, and ginger.
• On a large baking sheet, arrange 2 (12 by 24-inch) pieces of heavy-duty foil, overlapping them in the center to form a cross. Brush the entire surface of the salmon with the sesame oil mixture, then sprinkle with salt and pepper and place skin side down in the center of the foil. Arrange the bok choy on top of the salmon, then fold the foil into a packet, sealing in the salmon and bok choy.

• Remove the salmon and bok choy from the foil and cut the salmon into 8 servings. Divide the bok choy among 8 plates and top each with a piece of salmon. Garnish plates with lime wedges and serve immediately.
