Instructions

Prep 1 Atlantic Salmon Portion ($6.99), 1 head Organic Bok Choy ($2.99), 8 oz Baby Bella Mushrooms ($2.79), 1 bunch Organic Green Onion ($1.43), 1 Lime ($0.59), and 1 small Yellow Onion ($1.49). Chop the bok choy, slice the mushrooms and onion, and slice the green onions. Cut the lime into wedges.
Pat the salmon dry and mix a quick glaze with 3 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon honey or brown sugar, 1 teaspoon ginger, 2 cloves minced garlic, and 1 tablespoon lime juice. Spoon half over the salmon and reserve the rest.
Heat the oven to 425°F. Place the salmon on a small sheet pan or ovenproof skillet, brush again with the glaze, and roast for 10 to 12 minutes until just cooked through and flaky.
While the salmon roasts, heat 1 tablespoon neutral oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 1 small sliced Yellow Onion ($1.49) and cook 2 minutes.
Add the 8 oz sliced Baby Bella Mushrooms ($2.79) and cook 4 to 5 minutes until browned. Add the chopped Organic Bok Choy ($2.99) and stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes until crisp-tender.
Pour in the reserved soy glaze and toss the vegetables for 30 to 60 seconds until glossy. Stir in half of the sliced Organic Green Onion ($1.43).
Warm 2 cups cooked rice from the pantry. Divide the rice between 2 bowls, top with the glazed bok choy-mushroom mixture, and place the roasted salmon over each bowl.
Finish with the remaining sliced green onion and lime wedges from the 1 Lime ($0.59). Serve right away.
Wine note: pour a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or dry Riesling with dinner for a refreshing match to the soy-ginger salmon and greens.

Cook time: 35 minutes

Estimated cost: $16-20

Health notes: About 650-750 calories per serving. High in protein and omega-3 fats from salmon; bok choy and mushrooms add fiber, potassium, and B vitamins. To lighten it further, serve with a smaller portion of rice and extra bok choy.

Drink pairing: A crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a dry Riesling works beautifully here; both handle the soy-ginger glaze and rich salmon without overpowering the delicate vegetables.
