Quick teriyaki-style salmon with pak choi for a fast weeknight dinner

This is the kind of dinner you make when you want something warm and satisfying without standing in the kitchen for long. The salmon cooks fast, the sauce comes together in the pan, and the greens soften just enough to stay fresh.

  3. Heat the oil in a wide pan over medium-high heat.
  4. Place the salmon skin-side down and cook until golden.
  5. Turn the salmon and add the garlic to the pan.
  6. Pour in soy sauce, honey, water, and vinegar.
  7. Let the sauce bubble gently while spooning it over the fish.
  8. Add the pak choi cut-side down and cook until just wilted.
  9. Sprinkle with sesame seeds and remove from the heat.

Tips

If the sauce reduces too fast, add a splash of water and swirl the pan.
Pak choi cooks quickly — keep it crisp rather than soft.
