mirin

🥗Healthier: rice vinegar + sugar

💰Cheaper: white wine + sugar

Rice vinegar is lower in calories and provides a similar tangy flavor.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium soy sauce reduces sodium intake without sacrificing flavor.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: canola oil

Olive oil is healthier and can be used for a lighter flavor.

sugar

🥗Healthier: honey

💰Cheaper: brown sugar

Honey offers a natural sweetness with potential health benefits.

Mix teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, mirin, ginger, and garlic in a small bowl to create the marinade.

Take 4 tablespoons of the marinade and pour it over the salmon; let it marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator.

Cut the bok choy in half or quarters if using large ones.

Remove salmon from the marinade and arrange it on a baking sheet with the bok choy.

Brush the bok choy with the reserved teriyaki marinade.

Bake the salmon and bok choy in the oven for 20 minutes.

While the salmon and bok choy are baking, put the remaining marinade in a small saucepan and bring it to a boil until it thickens and becomes syrupy.

Set the thickened marinade aside until later.

Before serving, sprinkle the dish with sliced spring onions and sesame seeds.

Serve the salmon over white rice or cauliflower rice.
