One of my favorite types of fish to cook is salmon. Not only is it delicious, but it’s also incredibly good for you. It has antioxidants, vitamins, and plenty of protein. It has minerals your body needs like selenium and potassium. And of course, it is very well-known for its omega-3 fatty acid content. Until you taste my sweet and sour salmon recipe, you won’t believe that healthy food could taste this amazing. Or that you only need seven ingredients to make it. Oh, and you only need one sheet pan. Salmon with bok choy comes together in minutes with a quick sweet and sour sauce with just enough spice to rev it up. It’s a recipe for two, but you can double it and use a larger pan to feed a family, or for when you have guests over. It’s so quick to make that you won’t have to hide out in the kitchen, either. With the wonderful sweet and sour sauce, this salmon bok choy will likely become a new weekly item on your home cooking menu. The salmon itself comes out tender and juicy with a sticky-sauced surface. The bok choy makes the perfect bed for it and this sauce will have you eating all your vegetables. You can serve it with steamed rice – something I definitely recommend because you can use the rice to soak up all that glorious sauce. Noodles would work too, especially if you’re trying to cut down on carbs. They have noodles made from chickpeas and edamame that give you the experience of eating pasta without sabotaging your diet goals. If you’re craving restaurant-style food, try this decadent sweet and sour salmon that will fool your taste buds while being kind to your waistline.
