These are some of our favorite recipes, mostly from Cooking Light, but we tend to edit portions and ingredients
that suit our taste buds (e.g. when a recipe calls for 1 minced garlic clove, we use about 4 :) ).
Other recipes are passed down from family and friends.

Salmon and Bok Choy

This was quick and easy...and I'd never bought bok choy before, so it expanded my grocerie list!


Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons honey
2 teaspoons grated peeled fresh ginger
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 pound baby bok choy or bok choy
4 (6-ounce) sustainable salmon fillets
1/4 cup diagonally cut green onions
Preparation:
1. Preheat broiler.
2. Combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl, stirring with a whisk.
3. Coarsely chop bok choy leaves, and arrange on one end of a jelly-roll pan. Coarsely chop bok choy stems and arrange in a single layer on opposite end of jelly-roll pan. Place salmon, skin side down, in a single layer on top of leafy greens. Pour half of soy sauce mixture evenly over salmon; pour remaining half evenly over bok choy stems. Broil for 5 minutes; stir stems. Broil an additional 4 minutes or until desired degree of doneness. Arrange 1/3 cup bok choy on each of 4 plates. Top each serving with 1 fillet and 1 tablespoon green onions.
