- After the salmon has marinated, transfer the baking dish to the hot oven and bake for 10-15 minutes or until the fish is easily flaked with a fork.
For the Bok Choy:
- Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spread the bok choy out in an even layer.
- Drizzle with oil and soy sauce, along with a sprinkle of kosher salt, and transfer to the oven with the salmon.
- Roast for 10-15 minutes or until tender and caramelized in spots.
For the Grains:
- While the salmon and bok choy are roasting, cook your grain of choice according to the package directions.
- While the grains are still warm, stir in the soy sauce and sesame oil. Season to taste and keep warm until you are ready to serve.
For the Spicy Mayo Drizzle:
Whisk all the ingredients together in a bowl. Thin with a little water until it reaches a drizzly consistency.

Divide the grains between two bowls. Top each bowl with a piece of salmon, the bok choy, chopped scallions, some diced avocado, and a sprinkling of sesame seeds. Drizzle over the spicy mayo. Serve immediately while everything is warm.
