- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
- Prep the Fish: Pat the fish fillets dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of olive oil and rub it in gently.
- Prepare the Bok Choy: In a bowl, toss the chopped bok choy with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil (if using). Mix well to ensure even coating.
- Preheat the Air Fryer: Set your air fryer to 400°F (200°C) and allow it to preheat for about 5 minutes.
- Air Fry the Fish: Place the seasoned fish fillets in the air fryer basket in a single layer. Cook for 8-10 minutes, or until the fish is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
