Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Simply Organic® Ginger
- 1/4 teaspoon Simply Organic® Five Spice Powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Simply Organic® Red Crushed Pepper
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 4 (6-ounce) center cut salmon fillets
- 1/4 cup soy sauce (or Tamara if you are gluten free)
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1 tablespoon canola oil
- 1/2 tablespoon sesame oil
- 4 heads baby bok choy, halved, washed and dried
- 1/2 tablespoon raw cane sugar
- 1 avocado, shaved or sliced
- For the Black Sesame Rice:
- 1 cup jasmine rice, rinsed
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 2 cups water
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon Simply Organic® Black Sesame Seed
- 1 tablespoon sliced scallions
- For Garnish:
- Simply Organic® Black Sesame Seed
- Watermelon radish, thinly sliced
- Fresh red chili, thinly sliced
- Purple radish, thinly sliced
Directions
- Combine ½ tablespoon of the ground ginger with five spice, red pepper flakes and a pinch of salt and pepper. Let salmon sit at room temperature for about 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile bring the soy sauce and remaining ginger to a simmer in a small saucepan. Let cook at a rapid simmer for about 30 seconds then remove from heat, stir in honey and set aside.
- Once the salmon has sat for 10 minutes, pat the fillets dry and season on both sides with spice mixture.
- In a coated cast iron skillet, or heavy bottomed frying pan, add the oil and heat over medium high heat until simmering. Add salmon (skin side up) and cook for about 4 minutes, or until salmon is golden brown and can easily move around the pan. Flip salmon and cook for another 3 minutes. Place cooked salmon on a large plate or platter and divide the glaze among the four filets. Tent loosely with foil while you cook the bok choy.
- Sprinkle the bok choy with sugar and heat the sesame oil in the same skillet. Add half of the bok choy cut side down to the skillet and cook undisturbed for about 1 minute. Add 3 tablespoons of water and cover and cook until bok choy is bright green, about 3 minutes. Remove cooked bok choy choy from skillet and repeat with remaining vegetables.
- Add rice, water and salt to a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer and cover. Cook for about 15 minutes, or until all of the water has been absorbed. Remove from heat and let set for 5 minutes.
- Fluff rice with a fork, then stir in sesame oil, sesame seeds and scallions.
- To serve, fill 4 bowls with sesame rice and top with cooked salmon, bok choy and avocado.
