YUZU-GLAZED SALMON

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Cut a square of parchment about three times larger than salmon fillet.
• In a small bowl, whisk together yuzu juice, miso, soy sauce, and maple syrup.
• Lay parchment on a sheet pan. Arrange bok choy on right half of parchment, leaving a 2-inch border uncovered on all sides. Place salmon on top of bok choy, drizzle with yuzu mixture, then sprinkle with sesame seeds.
• Take left side of parchment and fold it over salmon. Pleat edges together to form a parcel, sealing fish tightly in packet. Check to make sure there are no gaps along edges.
• Place in oven and bake 25 minutes. Salmon should be cooked through and just tender at center.
• Remove from oven and let rest a few minutes. Cut packet open, divide salmon and bok choy among plates, and drizzle with some cooking juices.
