Ingredients

Ponzu Sauce:

1/2 cup soy sauce
3 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lime juice
1/2-inch knob fresh ginger, peeled and grated (about 1 tablespoon )
1 serrano chile, stemmed and sliced (with seeds)
1 scallion, (green and white) thinly sliced

Fish and Vegetables:

8 baby choy, halved, or 3 medium bok choy, quartered, about 1 pound, well rinsed
4 (5 to 6 ounce) salmon fillets, skinned
Kosher salt freshly ground black pepper

Directions

Whisk all of the ponzu sauce ingredients in a small bowl and set aside.

Pour 1-inch or more of water in a wok or skillet and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Put the bok choy in a bamboo or collapsible steamer and cover. Set the steamer over the water, cover, and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes for baby bok choy, 4 minutes for medium bok choy.

Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over high heat. Season the salmon with the salt and pepper, lay the fish rounded side down in the pan and cook until golden and crisp on 1 side, about 2 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium, turn and cook the fish on the remaining side to the desired degree of doneness, about 6 to 7 minutes for medium-rare, 8 to 9 minutes for medium, and 11 to 12 minutes for fish cooked through.

Divide the salmon and bok choy among 4 plates and serve each drizzled with 2 to 3 tablespoons of the ponzu. Pass extra sauce at the table. Store leftover ponzu in airtight container in refrigerator for 1 week.

simple & pleasant
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

Used more green onions in sauce (We LOVE onions)and seasoned the bok choy while it steamed. Fish was a winner for me and... hubby. I liked bok choy, reminds me of greens. He dislikes bok choy, reminds him of cabbage. Made homemade mashed potatoes, great addition.Will definetely make fish again, maybe skip th bok choy.Read more

Great company dish
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

The only reason I didn't give this recipe 5 stars was that I found the Ponzu sauce to be too salty. I added a lot more... water, a little more lime juice and some sugar. I also found I used a lot more grated ginger to get to the 1 tablespoon that was called for. The end result was actually fabulous. I also made Sushi Rice and served it with the salmon and bok choy. Baby bok choy is very hard to find in my area but the medium worked fine.Read more
