Maple BBQ Salmon with Baby Bok Choy

Maple BBQ Salmon with Baby Bok Choy

I’m drooling.  Why?  Because I’ve eaten this and it is DELICIOUS.  Don’t you wish you could reach into the computer and put this on your dinner plate?  You can’t. If it could be done I’d have maple salmon breath and be picking  bok choy out of my teeth right now.  This recipe isn’t time-consuming, but we recommend you half the sauce unless you save some to eat another time.  It’s way too much.  Don’t leave out the green onions.  They really add to the recipe.  The bok choy is my dad’s recipe and it is divine.  This will be a family favorite or you’re just weird.  Salmon is such a healthy meal.  Not very often do health and taste collide.  I always serve it with a side of brown rice.  Try to stay humble as your adoring family pays homage to you. MMMMM!
