๐Ÿ’ชProtein & Nutrition Breakdown

Fish is an exceptionally lean protein source rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which play a role in reducing exercise-induced inflammation and supporting recovery. It digests quickly, making it an excellent choice around workouts. Each serving of Salmon Teriyaki with Bok Choy delivers 38g of protein at 440 calories โ€” that's 12 calories per gram of protein, making it one of the more efficient protein sources on this site. Protein accounts for roughly 35% of total calories in this dish. The 40g of carbohydrates per serving provide energy for training, making this a well-rounded meal both pre- and post-workout. The 16g of fat primarily comes from the cooking method and protein source itself, contributing to satiety and supporting fat-soluble vitamin absorption.

๐ŸฅกMeal Prep & Storage

Salmon Teriyaki with Bok Choy is a straightforward recipe that scales well for meal prep. This recipe makes 4 servings, each delivering 38g of protein and 440 calories โ€” ideal for tracking macros across the week. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days. To reheat, warm gently on the stovetop over medium-low heat or in the microwave in 90-second intervals, stirring between each, until heated through. Adding a small splash of water or broth prevents the protein from drying out during reheating. Salmon Teriyaki with Bok Choy also freezes well โ€” portion into individual freezer-safe containers and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw overnight in the refrigerator before reheating. Batch cooking a double or triple portion on the weekend means you have 38g-protein meals ready throughout the week with zero daily effort.

๐Ÿ’ก Tips & Notes

  • โ€ขWatch carefully under the broiler โ€” teriyaki can burn quickly.

Variations

  • โ†’Use cod.
  • โ†’Add edamame.
  • โ†’Serve over noodles.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make Salmon Teriyaki with Bok Choy ahead of time?

The marination step actually benefits from being done the night before. The longer it marinates (up to 24 hours), the more flavorful it becomes.

Can I substitute a different type of fish?

Yes โ€” any firm-fleshed fish works. For flaky white fish recipes, try cod, halibut, or mahi-mahi. For salmon recipes, try arctic char or steelhead trout.

How long should I marinate โ€” does longer mean better?

Minimum 30 minutes for noticeable flavor, 2-4 hours is ideal. Overnight works for most proteins but don't exceed 24 hours โ€” the acid can break down the meat too much and make it mushy.
