Nutritious salmon, whole grains, and a side of greens will fill you up with the good stuff.

Ingredients

1 cup brown rice
¼ cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon finely grated peeled fresh ginger
½ 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 ½ pounds), cored and chopped

Directions

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.
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 Notes

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