Honey-Soy Glazed Salmon with Bok Choy

My favourite restaurant serves a delicious Soy and Maple Glazed Cod with Bok Choy and sweet potato gnochi, my mouth waters just thinking about it.  That is why when I saw the following recipe I knew that I had to try it.  Honey and Soy on Salmon?? If it is anything like the Cod it would be a sure  winner.  I was not disappointed.  They dish is a winner in two categories it is both delicious and REALLY easy to make.  The most complicated part was remembering the marinade the fish for 30 minutes before I had to cook it.  I wonder how it would taste with cod??



1 cup soy sauce
1/4 cup honey
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 inch peeled fresh ginger, thinly sliced
3 cloves garlic, smashed
4 salmon fillets, about 1 1/2 pounds
4-6 heads baby bok choy, root ends trimmed off

PROCEDURES
1Whisk soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, ginger, and garlic together until honey dissolves. Reserve 1/4 cup of marinade in separate bowl, then place salmon fillets, skin-side up, in marinade. Allow to marinate for at least 10 minutes, preferably for 30.
2 Meanwhile, preheat broiler (or grill) to high. Heat 1/4 cup of water in medium skillet over high heat and bring to a boil. Add bok choy and cover. Allow to steam until almost tender, about 4 minutes, then add reserved marinade. Toss to combine, cook for an additional 2 minutes to reduce excess liquid. Remove from heat.
3 Put the salmon under the broiler skin-side down and broil without turning until exterior is well-caramelized and the fish is just cooked through, 7-10 minutes, depending on thickness and the distance from broiler.
4 Arrange bok choy on plates and top with the salmon fillets.
