A quick and easy baked salmon recipe featuring a sticky-sweet and spicy honey sriracha glaze paired with tender, crunchy sesame bok choy. Perfect for busy weeknights, this dish balances bold flavors with minimal effort.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 skin-on salmon fillets, about 6 ounces each
  • 3 tablespoons honey
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce (low sodium recommended)
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated (optional)
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 pound bok choy, washed and halved or quartered
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 stalk green onion, thinly sliced (optional)
  • Freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to fully heat for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together honey, sriracha, soy sauce, minced garlic, and grated ginger if using. Adjust sriracha to taste.
  3. Pat dry the salmon fillets with paper towels and place them skin-side down on a lined rimmed baking sheet.
  4. Brush the honey sriracha glaze evenly over the top of each salmon fillet.
  5. Toss the halved bok choy in toasted sesame oil and freshly ground black pepper.
  6. Arrange the bok choy around the salmon on the baking sheet in a single layer.
  7. Bake for 12–15 minutes, until the salmon flakes easily with a fork and the glaze is bubbly and caramelized; bok choy should be tender but still crisp.
  8. While baking, toast sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat for 1–2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden.
  9. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onion over the salmon and bok choy.
  10. Let rest for 1–2 minutes before serving.

Notes

Check salmon at 12 minutes to avoid overcooking; salmon should flake easily but remain moist. For extra tender bok choy, toss with a splash of water and cover loosely with foil for the first 8 minutes of baking, then uncover to finish crisping. If glaze is not sticky enough, broil for 1–2 minutes at the end, watching closely to prevent burning. You can substitute soy sauce with tamari or coconut aminos for gluten-free options. Maple syrup or agave nectar can replace honey if desired. Adjust sriracha to control spice level.
