This Garlic-Ginger Salmon Dinner provides 5g protein and 145 calories per serving — a light option suited to side-dish or appetizer roles in your meal structure.

Ingredients
- •Honey(10g)
- •Garlic
- •Ginger, Fresh Root(5g)
- •Soy Sauce, Low Sodium(10g)
- •Vinegar, Rice, Seasoned(10g)
- •Sesame Oil, Toasted(10g)
- •½ teaspoon kosher salt
- •¼ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
- •Zucchini(480g)
- •Bok Choy
- •Mushrooms, Shiitake(120g)

Instructions
- 1Preheat the oven to 375°F with a rack in the center position. In a small bowl, combine the honey, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, salt, and pepper.
- 2Fold 2 (18-inch-long) pieces of parchment paper in half. Using scissors, round the corners to make ovals. Open the parchments and place them on a large rimmed baking sheet.
- 3Divide the zucchini, bok choy, and shiitake mushrooms on one half of each of the parchment ovals and top with the salmon. Drizzle everything with the marinade and fold the other half of the parchment paper over the salmon and vegetables. Fold the edges together tightly, working from corner to corner, to seal.
- 4Bake until the salmon easily flakes with a fork and the vegetables are tender, about 10-12 minutes.
- 5Divide the salmon and vegetables between two plates and serve immediately.
