This Asian-Spiced Salmon with Braised Bok Choy recipe is a unique twist on a classic salmon dish. The fish is seasoned with Chinese five spice powder, which lends a warm and slightly sweet flavor to the dish. The salmon is cooked to crispy perfection and served on a bed of tender bok choy, which is braised in chicken stock and seasoned with garlic, salt, and pepper. The result is a light and healthy meal that is packed with flavor and nutrients. This dish is perfect for a weeknight dinner or special occasion, as it is both easy to make and impressive to serve.

Instructions

1.	Heat 2 tablespoons of peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
2.	Season both sides of the salmon fillets with Chinese five spice powder and place them in the skillet skin-side down. Cook for 3-4 minutes or until the skin is crispy and golden brown.
3.	Mince the garlic and add it to the skillet, cooking for an additional 30 seconds.
4.	Transfer the salmon to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
5.	Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of peanut oil in the same skillet and add the bok choy. Saute for 2-3 minutes or until wilted.
6.	Add the chicken stock to the skillet and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook for an additional 3-4 minutes or until the bok choy is tender but still has a slight crunch.
7.	Divide the bok choy among four plates and top each serving with a salmon fillet. Serve warm.
