Cooking Steps

Cook rice
1
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • To a medium pot, add 1 1/4 cups (2 1/2 cups) water and half the garlic salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high. 
  • Using a strainer, rinse rice until water runs clear.
  • To the boiling water, stir in rice and reduce heat to low. Cover and cook for 13-15 min, until rice is tender and water is absorbed. Remove from heat. Set aside, still covered.
Prep and make sauce
2
  • Peel, then halve carrot lengthwise. Cut into 1/8-inch thick half moons.
  • Cut bok choy into 1-inch pieces. Rinse bok choy leaves to wash away any dirt.
  • To a small bowl, add brown sugar, ginger-garlic puree, fish sauce, soy sauce and 1/3 cup water (use the same for 4 servings). Stir to combine.
Cook veggies
3
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add carrots, 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) oil and 2 tbsp (1/4 cup) water. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring often, until water has evaporated and carrots are tender-crisp.
  • Stir in 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter and bok choy. Season with remaining garlic salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until veggies are tender.
  • Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm. Wipe out pan.
Sear salmon
4
  • Pat salmon dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Reheat the same pan over medium. When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil, then add salmon. Cook for 1-2 min, until browned. Flip salmon and continue cooking for 1-2 min, until browned.
  • Transfer salmon to a plate. (NOTE: Salmon will finish cooking in step 5.) 
Finish caramel sauce and salmon
5
  • Reheat the same pan over medium-low. Add sauce mixture. Cook 1-2 min, stirring often, until simmering. 
  • Add fish, flesh side down. Cover and cook for 3-5 min, until sauce is glaze-like and salmon is cooked through.**  (TIP: If sauce is still watery, remove salmon and continue cooking for 1-2 min until glaze-like.)
Finish and serve
6
  • Fluff rice with a fork. Stir in half the crispy garlic and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter.
  • Remove and discard salmon skin, if you like.
  • Divide rice and veggies between plates.
  • Top rice with salmon. Spoon caramel-ginger sauce over top.
  • Sprinkle remaining crispy garlic over top.
