Oven-Roasted Ginger–Scallion Glazed Steelhead with Sautéed Bok Choy + Crispy Smashed Gold Potatoes

A bright, Pacific-Northwest feeling dinner: succulent steelhead with a punchy ginger-scallion glaze, plus quick-seared bok choy and crispy-edged smashed gold potatoes. It’s weeknight-fancy but totally doable.

Ingredients

  • Steelhead fillet (Fresh Farm Raised) 12 oz (for 2 servings) $8.99/lb (sale)
  • Spice World™ Fresh Peeled Ginger Bag 1 Tbsp ginger, finely grated $3.99 (7 oz)
  • Green Onions 2 green onions, thinly sliced (whites + greens separated) $1.50 each
  • Organic Baby Bok Choy 12 oz bok choy, halved lengthwise $3.99/lb
  • Simple Truth Organic® Gourmet Gold Potatoes 1 lb gold potatoes (about 3–4 medium), scrubbed $3.50 (24 oz)
  • Garlic 2 cloves, minced $1.50 each
  • Pantry: soy sauce 2 1/2 Tbsp
  • Pantry: honey or brown sugar 1 Tbsp
  • Pantry: rice vinegar or apple cider vinegar 1 Tbsp
  • Pantry: neutral oil (avocado/canola) 2 Tbsp, divided
  • Pantry: sesame oil (optional) 1 tsp
  • Pantry: black pepper + kosher salt to taste
  • Pantry: red pepper flakes (optional) pinch

Instructions

  1. Prep: Heat oven to 450°F. Put a kettle of water on or fill a pot for boiling potatoes. Pat 12 oz steelhead fillet dry; lightly salt and pepper it.
  2. Cook potatoes: Add 1 lb gold potatoes to a pot, cover with cold water, and add 1 tsp kosher salt. Bring to a boil, then simmer until a knife slides in easily, 15–20 minutes. Drain well.
  3. Make glaze: While potatoes cook, in a small bowl whisk 2 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce, 1 Tbsp honey (or brown sugar), 1 Tbsp rice vinegar, 1 Tbsp neutral oil, 1 Tbsp grated ginger, 2 minced garlic cloves, and the sliced white parts of 2 green onions. Add a pinch of red pepper flakes if you want heat.
  4. Roast fish: Line a small sheet pan. Place the 12 oz steelhead on the pan and spoon about half the glaze over the top. Roast at 450°F until just cooked through (125–130°F in the thickest part), 8–12 minutes depending on thickness.
  5. Smashed potatoes: When the potatoes are drained, set them on another sheet pan (or the same pan’s empty side if you have room). Smash each potato to about 1/2–3/4 inch thick using a mug. Drizzle with 1 Tbsp neutral oil and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Roast at 450°F until crisp and browned at the edges, 12–15 minutes (you can do this while the fish roasts—just pull fish when done).
  6. Sear bok choy: Heat a large skillet on the stove over medium-high. Add 1 Tbsp neutral oil. Place 12 oz bok choy cut-side down; sear until deeply browned, 2–3 minutes. Flip, add 2 Tbsp water, cover, and steam until tender-crisp, 2–3 minutes. Uncover and season with a tiny splash of soy sauce (or a pinch of salt) and 1 tsp sesame oil (optional).
  7. Finish: Brush the remaining glaze over the hot steelhead. Plate the steelhead with the crispy smashed potatoes and bok choy. Top with the sliced green parts of the green onions.

Health notes: ~700–850 kcal per serving (depends on potato portion and oil). High-protein, omega-3 rich; lots of micronutrients from bok choy. Keep it lighter by using less oil/butter and a smaller potato portion.

Drink pairing: Steelhead loves acidity and a little aromatics to echo ginger and scallion. Go for a crisp, citrusy white with moderate alcohol. Suggested styles: Dry Riesling; Sauvignon Blanc; Grüner Veltliner. Local-ish picks (WA): Chateau Ste. Michelle Dry Riesling (Columbia Valley); Charles Smith “Kung Fu Girl” Riesling.
