Restaurant-Worthy Salmon...Without the Restaurant Bill

Who says a gourmet dinner has to take all evening?

This Blackened Asian Salmon with Pan-Roasted Bok Choy delivers bold, restaurant-quality flavor in just 30 minutes. Crispy, perfectly seared salmon meets a rich black garlic glaze while tender-crisp bok choy soaks up every delicious drop of savory goodness.

The secret is a handful of gourmet pantry staples working together. Smoky Sriracha Flake Sea Salt, savory Black Garlic Shiitake Rub, sweet and tangy Black Garlic Tamari Barrel Aged Balsamic, and buttery Roasted Shallot Infused Olive Oil create layers of flavor that taste like you've been cooking for hours.

The best part? You don't need culinary school. Just one skillet and about half an hour.

Whether you're cooking for a weeknight dinner, date night at home, or simply trying to eat a little healthier without sacrificing flavor, this salmon recipe checks every box.

Ingredients

For the Salmon

1 lb salmon, cut into 4 portions
1 tbsp Sriracha Flake Sea Salt
3 tbsp Black Garlic Tamari Barrel Aged Balsamic
1 tbsp Toasted Sesame Oil
1 tbsp Black Garlic Shiitake Rub & Seasoning
2 tbsp Roasted Shallot Infused Olive Oil

For the Bok Choy

2 heads baby bok choy, cleaned with stems separated
1 tsp Sriracha Flake Sea Salt

Directions

Step 1

Pat the salmon dry. Remove the skin if desired, then season both sides with the Sriracha Flake Sea Salt. Set aside while preparing the glaze.

Step 2

In a small bowl, whisk together the Black Garlic Tamari Barrel Aged Balsamic, toasted sesame oil, and Black Garlic Shiitake Rub & Seasoning until well combined.

Step 3

Heat 1 tablespoon of Roasted Shallot Infused Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add the baby bok choy and sprinkle with Sriracha Flake Sea Salt. Cover and steam for about 5 minutes until tender-crisp. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.

Step 4

Add the remaining tablespoon of Roasted Shallot Infused Olive Oil to the skillet.

Once hot, add the salmon and sear for 1 minute per side.

Brush or drizzle the prepared glaze over both sides of the salmon and continue cooking for another 1 to 2 minutes per side, depending on thickness, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

Serve immediately alongside the pan-roasted bok choy and spoon any extra glaze over the top.
