Sheet-pan ginger-soy salmon with bok choy, red pepper, and spicy maple sauce

I know I have a lot of salmon recipes on the site, but I can't resist a new one that looks good, and this one definitely measures up! Bok choy is one of my favorite vegetables, but I haven't had it in quite a while, and this was a great way to make it--I do like cooking everything on a sheet pan.  The sauce for this dish is especially delectable. The amount in the recipe is enough for 4 servings, but used somewhat sparingly.  I think the next time I make it, I'll up the maple syrup to 1/3 cup, and adjust the other sauce ingredients a bit as well.

Ginger-Soy Salmon with Bok Choy, red pepper, and Spicy Maple Sauce

adapted from https://www.simplyrecipes.com/recipes/ginger_soy_steamed_salmon_with_spicy_maple_sauce/

4 servings

1 to 1-1/2 pounds fresh salmon, skin on

1 large head bok choy, cut in slices

1 red pepper, sliced

olive oil

2 T. soy sauce

Salt and pepper

1 lemon, sliced into wedges, garnish

Sauce

1/4 cup maple syrup

1 T. soy sauce

1/4 t. red pepper flakes

1/2 t. toasted sesame oil

1/4 t. dried ginger

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.

Prep the salmon: If you have a large side of salmon, cut it into 4-ounce to 6-ounce portions and remove the pin bones using tweezers. Season the fish with salt and pepper.

Assemble the ingredients in the sheet pan: Toss the bok choy and red pepper with a little olive oil and the 2 T. soy sauce and roast for about 15 minutes.  Add the salmon to the sheet pan, and continue to roast until the salmon is just cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.

Make the spicy maple sauce: While the salmon is cooking, combine all the sauce ingredients in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer and turn heat down to low. Simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce coats the back of a spoon. Watch it closely as it can boil over. Remove and let cool and it will continue to thicken as it cools.

Serve. Serve with lemon wedges to squeeze on the fish. Spoon Maple Sauce over the top of the fish. Can be served with cooked rice, but it makes a full meal without anything more.
