Sesame Salmon

A friend asked for something asian inspired this week.  Instead of stir-fry though, I decided to go with an asian flavor profile, and make a composed dish.  

Ingredients:

6 heads baby bok choy

1/4 cup tamari

2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar

1/4 cup black and white sesame seeds

3 Salmon Filets.  Aprox 4-6 ounces

cocnut oil as needed

Salt as needed

To Make:

1)Preheat your oven to 325 degrees. Also preheat a grill pan over medium heat (an actual grill will work fine too).

2)In a medium bowl, combine Tamari, rice wine vinegar, and a pinch of salt. Add the Bok Choy and let marinate for 30 minutes. 

3)While the bok choy marinates, combine the white and black sesame seeds. Toast in a small saute pan on low heat, making sure to not burn.  Let cool

4)Once cool, spread the sesame seeds over the flesh side of the salmon.  Place the salmon on a parchment lined cookie sheet and bake 40 10-15 minutes or until cooked through.  

5)While fish cooks, grill the bok choy.  Brush the grill lightly with cocnut oil before placing bok choy on the grill.  

As always, Eat well.  Play hard.  Give back.
