- ¼ Cup Mirin
- 1 Cup Chopped White Onions
- 1 Cup Chopped Carrots
- 1 Cup Shiitake Mushrooms
- ½ Cup Chopped Ginger
- 1 Lemongrass Stalk
- 1 Bunch (About 5 Onions)
- 1 Orange Peel
- 1 Tbsp. Whole Sichuan Pepper
- 1 Tbsp. Whole Allspice
- ½ Tsp. Fennel Seed

CITRUS BOK CHOY
- ½ Lbs. Baby Bok Choy

- 2 Tbsp. Rice Vinegar
- 2 Tbsp. Honey
- 1 Tbsp. Minced Garlic
- 1 Tbsp. Lime Juice
- ½ Tsp. White Soy
- 1 Tsp. Coconut Oil
PREPARE THE BROTH:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees, and in an oven-safe tray, begin by combining dry spices and vegetables.
- Allow a light roast at 350 degrees for about 10 minutes. Then, separate and let rest in a bowl.
- Bring a pot of water to boil. (Approximately 6 cups of water should boil on high.) Once water is boiling, remove from heat and add mirin and sake.
- Add water, mirin, and sake mixture to the bowl of vegetables and spices. Let rest for another 10 minutes.
- Once the time is up, drain it!
FOCUS ON THE CITRUS BOK CHOY
- Combine lime zest with minced garlic, and chop until it forms a puree-like consistency.
- In a separate bowl, mix in the rice vinegar, lime juice, white soy, white pepper, and honey.
- Cut bok choy leaves and season with lime and garlic puree.
- After seasoning, place bok choy leaves into a separate resealable plastic bag, place the plastic bag in a bowl with iced water, and let rest for 15 minutes.
HANDLE THE SALMON AND MARINADE
- Bring the two cups of soy sauce to boil. Once boiled, add brown sugar and mix until it’s completely dissolved. Remove from high heat, add mirin and rice vinegar.
- In a mixing bowl, add minced shallots, chives, and the hot soy mixture. (Let cool.)
- Once the marinade has cooled down, add to salmon. Cover with plastic wrap. (Let rest for 10 minutes.)
- Once ready and cool, place salmon on grill or stovetop and brush marinade to all sides.
- Grill each side of the salmon for about one minute until the inside is light pink.
- Add the broth to a deep dish, add bok choy in the form of a bed on the dish, and place salmon on top.
