If you like salmon, and Asian food, and you’re doing keto, you’re going to love this Salmon Bok Choy recipe. It’s an entire dinner that can be cooked in your air fryer, and is done in about half an hour.
This Salmon Bok Choy is full of beautiful umami flavor. The salmon pairs beautifully with the bok choy and the shiitake mushrooms making a gorgeous meal you can be proud to serve. If you’re apprehensive about cooking the salmon in the air fryer, don’t be. The skin turns so crispy and amazing, and the marinating step makes sure all those amazing flavors are soaked up in the salmon before it’s even cooked.
Salmon Bok Choy | Air Fryer Recipe
One of my favorite things about this Salmon Bok Choy recipe is that it’s cooked in one pan. The only thing you will need to clean after dinner is the air fryer basket and your dinner plates. This is why I value my air fryer so much, is because outside of making beautiful food and recipes, it also makes clean up so much easier.
Make sure that you don’t stick the Bok Choy and mushrooms in for the whole time with the salmon. I note this in the recipe, but wanted to make sure you saw this here. Your vegetables will only need to cook for about 6 minutes in the air fryer, because any longer than that they will be overcooked and turn to mush.

- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
- 2 teaspoons finely grated orange zest
- 1/2 cup fresh orange juice
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 3 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 5 ounce salmon fillets
- 2 heads baby bok choy halved lenghtwise
- 2 ounces shiitake mushrooms stemmed (stems discarded)
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds toasted
For the fish: In a small bowl whisk together garlic, ginger, orange zest and juice, soy sauce, vinegar, vegetable oil, and salt. Remove half of the marinade and reserve. Place salmon in a gallon-size resealable bag. Pour remaining half of marinade over salmon. Seal and massage to coat. Allow to marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes.
Place salmon in air fryer basket. Set fryer to 400°F for 12 minutes.
Meanwhile, for the vegetables: Brush bok choy and mushroom caps all over with sesame oil and season lightly with salt. After 6 minutes of cook time, add vegetables around salmon in air fryer basket. Continue cooking for remaining 6 minutes.
Drizzle salmon with some of the reserved marinade and sprinkle vegetables with sesame seeds to serve.
- The recipe probably has fewer carbs and calories since you're unlikely to be eating all of the sauce/marinade, but I'm not sure how to account for that.
