Fish Bok Choy Ginger Sesame Seeds

Instructions

Season sea bass fillets with salt.
Fill a heavy-bottomed lidded pan with 1½–2 in of water. Bring to a boil, reduce to a simmer, and add bok choy halved-side up. Cover and cook 2 min. Lay fillets on top of bok choy, cover, and steam about 4 min until fish is opaque.
Combine water, tamari, and mirin in a small bowl. Heat sesame oil in a pan over medium. Cook ginger 1 min until fragrant, add scallion whites for 1 min more, then add remaining julienned scallions, half the cilantro, and the tamari mixture. Cook about 30 sec until greens wilt.
Plate fish over bok choy. Spoon sauce over the top. Sprinkle with remaining cilantro and toasted sesame seeds. Drizzle with chili oil and serve with brown rice if desired.
