Step-by-Step Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
2
In a small saucepan, whisk together the miso paste, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and grated ginger. Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly.
3
Reduce the heat to low and let the glaze simmer for 5-7 minutes, or until it has thickened slightly and reduced by about half.
4
While the glaze is simmering, prepare the salmon fillets by seasoning them with salt and pepper.
5
Place the salmon fillets on the prepared baking sheet and brush the tops with the yuzu miso glaze.
6
Bake the salmon in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until it is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
7
While the salmon is baking, steam the bok choy until it is tender and slightly caramelized.
8
To serve, place a salmon fillet on each plate and top with a spoonful of steamed bok choy. Drizzle with additional yuzu miso glaze and garnish with thinly sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds.
