Trim the tough outer leaves from the bok choy. Cut the stalks in half

Mix the ingredients for the dressing. Pour into a serving bowl.

Preheat the oven to 450F. Place the salmon steaks on top of the greens.
Pour several inches of water into a roasting pan, and heat until boiling.
Carefully place the platter of salmon and vegetables on top of a rack or
steamer tray. Cover the top of the pan tightly with aluminum foil. Steam
7-9minutes, or until the fish is cooked.

Serve the salmon from the heatproof platter or arrange the steamed
vegetables and salmon on serving plates. Spoon some of the dressing on top
and serve with steamed rice.

NOTES : Since salmon is a slightly oily fish, it plays beautifully against
the clean flavors of ginger, scallion, and bok choy. For me, there's
nothing more soothing than tender, cooked cabbage; it is often prescribed
in China for relieving stomach pain. [Simonds]
