For the Salmon and Bok Choy
Method
Step 1
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.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
Once the salmon has sat for 10 minutes, pat the fillets dry and season on both sides with spice mixture.
Step 4
In a coated cast iron skillet, or heavy bottomed frying pan, add the oil and heat over medium high heat until shimmering. 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.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
To serve, fill 4 bowls with sesame rice and top with cooked salmon, bok choy and avocado.
