This easy and delicious spicy orange salmon needs just a few minutes of prep and then cooks entirely in the oven. Ready to enjoy in just about 15 minutes!
Preheat oven to 450° F. (non-convection/not fan-assisted) with the rack in the centre of the oven. Lightly brush a baking sheet with olive oil. Set aside.
Dry salmon and place on baking sheet (skin side down, if your salmon has skin on). Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cut bok choy in half lengthwise. Place your bok choy on the baking sheet, cut side down and alternating the direction on every second one (it's ok if your bok choy overlaps a little, to make it all fit). Brush bok choy with olive oil and season with some salt and pepper. If using, add a couple of orange slices to the baking sheet as well.
Place the salmon on the baking sheet into the preheated oven and cook for 15 minutes.
Meanwhile, combine the sauce ingredients in a microwave-proof bowl (or in a small saucepan). Set aside.
After 15 minutes in the oven, test the salmon for doneness (use a fork to see if it flakes). Thicker salmon cuts may need another 3-5 minutes.
When the salmon is almost done, place the sauce in the microwave for one minute (or turn the heat on under the saucepan). Stir to combine well.
Remove the salmon, bok choy and orange slices to a serving platter. Spoon the warm sauce over the salmon and drizzle a bit onto the bok choy as well, if you like.
