Bok Choy Salmon Bowl with Spicy Maple-Mustard Glaze

By Wild Alaskan Company

Prep time

Cook Time

Total time

35 minutes

Yield

2 servings

Ingredients

2 (6-ounce) portions of sockeye salmon
½ cup jasmine rice, uncooked
1 large bundle or 2 small bundles bok choy, washed and chopped
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
Salt and freshly ground pepper
High-heat cooking oil (vegetable, safflower or grapeseed)
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 tablespoon English mustard (like Colman’s)
1 teaspoon sriracha

Instructions

1. Cook two servings of rice according to package instructions. In the last 3 minutes of cooking, stir in bok choy, vinegar and an additional splash of water.

2. Meanwhile, set a rack in oven about 6 inches away from broiler element, then preheat broiler on highest setting.

3. Pat salmon fillets dry with a clean kitchen towel or paper towels. Season with salt and pepper, then lightly coat all sides with oil. Place fillets skin-side down on a foil-lined baking sheet.

4. In a small mixing bowl, whisk maple syrup, mustard and sriracha. Spoon mixture evenly over fillets. Then place salmon on top rack in oven. Broil until fish flakes easily with a fork, or internal temperature of fillet reaches 120F at its thickest part for medium-rare doneness, about 5 or 6 minutes, checking to make sure glaze caramelizes but does not burn. If picking up color too quickly, cover with foil.

5. Divide rice and bok choy between two shallow bowls, and place broiled salmon on top. Serve immediately. Leftovers can be stored in the fridge for 3 days.

Consuming raw or undercooked meats, poultry, seafood, shellfish, or eggs may increase your risk of food-borne illness, especially if you have a certain medical condition. The FDA recommends an internal temperature of 145°F for cooked fish.
