    Ingredients

    • 1 cup brown rice
    • 1/4 cup soy sauce
    • 3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
    • 1 teaspoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
    • 1/2 teaspoon agave nectar (optional)
    • 4 teaspoons canola or peanut oil
    • 4 salmon fillets (4 to 5 ounces each)
    • Coarse salt and ground pepper
    • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
    • 1 head bok choy (1 1/2 pounds), cored and chopped

    Directions

    1. Cook rice according to package instructions. Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine soy sauce, lime juice, ginger, and agave, if using. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium-high. Season salmon with salt and pepper and cook until opaque throughout, 1 to 3 minutes per side; transfer to a plate. Wipe skillet clean with a paper towel.

    2. In same skillet, heat 2 teaspoons oil over medium. Add garlic and bok choy; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing, until bok choy is bright green, about 3 minutes. Serve salmon and bok choy with rice and soy-lime sauce.

    Cook's Note

    Brown rice takes about 45 minutes to cook, so start it ahead of time. Agave nectar is a diabetes-friendly sweetener that rounds out the flavor of the sauce.

      I can get it at Publix. It's with the honey.
