Instructions

Step 1: In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, grated ginger, minced garlic, and brown sugar until sugar dissolves. Set aside.
Step 2: Pat salmon fillets dry, season lightly with salt, then place in a baking dish. Pour half the sauce over the salmon, coating evenly, and let marinate for 10 minutes while preheating oven to 400°F.
Step 3: Steam bok choy in a steamer basket over boiling water for 5 minutes until bright green and tender-crisp (until a knife slides easily through the stem).
Step 4: Bake salmon for 12-14 minutes until opaque and easily flakes with a fork, brushing with remaining sauce halfway through cooking.
Step 5: Arrange steamed bok choy on plates, top with salmon, drizzle with extra sauce, and sprinkle with sesame seeds.
