Steps

Lemon Pepper Salmon

  2. Zest lemon and slice into rounds.
  3. Drizzle salmon steak with olive oil and season all sides with salt, pepper and lemon zest.
  4. Arrange a bed of lemon slices on a baking sheet and top with salmon. Broil for 6 to 7 minutes.*
  5. *Note: Torch the skin to make it extra crispy without overcooking under the broiler.

Steamed Bok Choy

  1. Heat some water in a pot with a steamer insert and steam bok choy for 6 minutes or until tender.
  2. Serve bok choy alongside the salmon and add sauce and garlic on top.
