Oven Miso-Ginger Sockeye Salmon with Sautéed Bok Choy + Rice

Wild sockeye gets a simple miso-ginger glaze that turns lacquered and savory in a hot oven. Crisp-tender bok choy (great in early spring) and fluffy rice soak up every last drop—big restaurant vibes with weeknight effort.

Ingredients

  • Wild Caught Sockeye Salmon Fillet (Previously Frozen) 12 oz (3/4 lb) for 2 servings $11.99 sale (1 lb)
  • Organic Ginger Root 1-inch piece, peeled and finely grated (about 1 Tbsp) $3.77/lb sale
  • Garlic 2 cloves, finely grated or minced $0.69 each
  • Bok Choy 12 oz, halved lengthwise if large $2.77/lb sale
  • Jumbo Yellow Onion 1/2 medium onion, thinly sliced $0.99/lb
  • Green Onions 2, thinly sliced (optional garnish) $1.39/bunch
  • Rice (pantry) 1 cup cooked (about 1/2 cup dry)

Instructions

  1. Prep: Heat oven to 425°F. Line a sheet pan with foil or parchment for easy cleanup.
  2. Prep the glaze: In a small bowl, mix 1 Tbsp miso (pantry), 1 Tbsp soy sauce (pantry), 1 Tbsp honey or brown sugar (pantry), 1 Tbsp rice vinegar or lemon juice (pantry), 1 Tbsp grated ginger, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Stir until smooth.
  3. Cook the rice: Rinse 1/2 cup dry rice (pantry) and cook per package directions to yield about 1 cup cooked. Keep covered and warm.
  4. Roast the salmon: Place 12 oz sockeye salmon on the sheet pan. Brush/spoon half the glaze over the top. Roast at 425°F until just cooked through, 10–14 minutes (aim for 125–130°F for medium, 135°F for firmer).
  5. Stove side—sear the bok choy: While salmon roasts, heat 1 Tbsp oil (pantry) in a large skillet over medium-high. Add 1/2 sliced onion and cook 2–3 minutes until starting to soften.
  6. Add bok choy: Add 12 oz bok choy cut-side down. Cook 2–3 minutes until browned, then flip and cook 1–2 minutes more.
  7. Finish and glaze: Add 2 Tbsp water to the skillet, cover 1 minute to steam. Uncover, add remaining glaze, and toss quickly to coat (30 seconds).
  8. Serve: Spoon rice into bowls. Add glazed bok choy and onion. Top with roasted salmon. Garnish with sliced green onions (optional).

Cook time: 35 minutes

Estimated cost: $14–18

Health notes: ~720–820 kcal per serving (depends on rice portion). High in omega-3s and protein. Keep sodium in check by using low-sodium soy and going easy on extra salt; add more acid (rice vinegar/lime) for punch instead.

Drink pairing: The miso-sweet glaze loves bright acid and a little aromatic lift. Go for a zesty, dry white with citrus and mineral notes; or a light, chillable red with low tannin. Wine notes: look for wines with high acidity to cut the glaze, and minimal oak so they don’t fight the umami.
