How to Make Chinese Five Spice Salmon
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly coat 2 (6-ounce) salmon fillets with 1 tablespoon olive oil and place skin-side down in a large baking dish.
- In a small bowl, combine 1 teaspoon Chinese Five Spice powder, 1 teaspoon sugar, 1 teaspoon lime zest, 1 tablespoon lime juice, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes (or to taste), and salt and pepper to taste.
- Evenly sprinkle the spice mixture over the salmon fillets.
- Bake uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
- While the salmon bakes, heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat.
- Add 8 ounces sliced mushrooms and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger to the skillet.
- Cook and stir for 5-7 minutes, or until the mushrooms are softened.
- Stir in 1 bunch (about 8 ounces) of bok choy, chopped, and cook for another 2-3 minutes, or until heated through and slightly wilted.
- Serve the baked salmon over the mushroom-bok choy mixture. Garnish with extra lime wedges and sesame seeds (optional).
