Ingredients:

Instructions:

  • Cook the rice by: Bringing 1/2 cup of water to boil. Add the rice, cover with a lid, and turn heat down to low. Simmer for 20 minutes then remove from heat. Keep covered for an additional 10 minute.
  • While the rice is cooking prepare the salmon.
  • In a small bowl combine mirin, honey, low sodium soy sauce, sweet & sour, and chili garlic sauce.
  • Once the rice has been cooking for about 15 minutes. Preheat a medium saute pan with lid to medium heat, add the extra virgin olive oil to the pan. Place the salmon skin side down in the pan. Brush on the sweet and sour sauce mixture. Allow to cook for 3 minutes. Then cover with lid, cooking for an additional 3-4 minutes.
  • While the salmon is cooking heat a large saute pan to medium heat. Add the bok choy to the pan and allow to cook for about 1 minute. Then drizzle in the remaining soy sauce. Cook for approximately 5 minutes turning every 45 seconds or so to prevent burning.
