Next, heat a tablespoon of oil in a nonstick skillet and quickly brown the edges of the bok choy and remove it to a plate. After that, cook the salmon quickly, about 3 to 4 minutes a side depending on the thickness, and then add the glaze to coat the salmon. Finally, remove the salmon and return the bok choy to the pan to quickly toss in the remaining glaze. You will love this simple and delicious skillet meal for two.
