PrintTeriyaki Salmon with Baby Bok Choy and Shiitakes
A quick and easy sheet pan dinner – Teriyaki Salmon ( or tofu) and Bok Choy with sesame and scallions- fast and delicious! Delicious with Kyoto Sweet Potatoes!
- Prep Time: 5 mins
- Cook Time: 15 mins
- Total Time: 20 mins
- Yield: 2 1x
- Category: Main
- Method: baked
- Cuisine: Asian
Ingredients
- 8 ounces salmon ( 2 thick pieces)
- 4 baby bok choy cut into quarters or eights – ½ inch -¾ inch thick at widest point.
- 4 ounces shiitake mushrooms ( optional)
- ¼ cup soy sauce or use GF Braggs Liquid Amino Acids
- ¼ cup Mirin- sweet japanese wine
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- Pinch salt and pepper
- Orange zest- optional
- Toasted Sesame seeds
- scallions, sliced thinly
- sriracha or chili flakes
Instructions
- Pre Heat oven to 350F
- Place the salmon, bok choy and optional mushrooms on a parchment lined ( or foil lined) baking sheet.
- Mix marinade ingredients (soy, mirin, sesame oil, honey and ginger) together in a small bowl and spoon it over the fish and veggies, coating all sides well.
- Sprinkle the salmon with a pinch of salt and pepper and a little fresh orange zest, then place the sheet pan in the oven, checking it after 10 minutes. Depending on how thick or thin the salmon is, it may be done, or need a few more minutes- so remove it if need be- thinner cuts will cook faster. At this point, you could broil the fish and bok choy, giving the bok choy a little toss first – or simply continue baking a few more minutes, until the bok choy is just tender ( yet green and vibrant and crisp).
- Divide among 2 bowls.
- Sprinkle the bowl with toasted sesame seeds, scallions, and chili flakes or sriracha for heat.
Notes
If subbing tofu for the salmon, you may want to cook it longer to get it slightly crispy. You could remove the veggies, keeping them warm, and continue cooking the tofu for an additional 20 minutes.
This is nice over brown rice, or go without, for a low-carb dinner. Feel free to sub any other quick cooking veggies- snow peas, asparagus, bell pepper…etc. Thicker cuts of salmon work nicely here.

We love this recipe so much! The baked tofu method with the sauce is to die for and so easy on a weeknight. I love how versatile this is for swapping in whatever veg I have on hand. 🙂

So happy you like it!
This recipe has become my absolute favourite way to prepare tofu and I had no idea roasted baby bok choy was so delicious. This is one recipe where I don’t want to make any substitutions. It’s so perfect!

Oh that makes me sooooo happy. Glad you like it!
Super easy and delightful! I roasted with some frozen stir fry vegies from Costco and they all cooked perfectly together…vegies crisp and salmon moist. As you suggested, perfect with the Kyoto sweet potatoes. So colorful and nourishing!

We made this last weekend & it was so yummy. Do not leave off the orange zest it added such a nice
touch & we used shitake mushrooms that shouldn’t be left off either. We had this with the Japanese Sweet Potatoes…It was the perfect meal! Thanks

Sounds like a good combo!
Great recipe! Love the pictures!
The only issue I’m having is that 350°F didn’t roast either the salmon nor the vegetables well at all so I had to crank up the temp and cook much longer :(. Trying 425 degrees Fahrenheit tonight – fingers crossed!
Hummmm, that is strange! I wonder, did you preheat your oven long enough, or have you checked the temp lately to see if it is calibrated? it would be fine cooking at 400.
I mostly followed this recipe except I didn’t have sesame seeds on hand, I threw in a big garlic clove, and used grapefruit zest since I had no oranges. It was outrageously simple and delicious. A definite keeper.
