This Asian-inspired salmon dish gets its flavor from fresh scallions, tahini, garlic, ginger, and lime zest giving it a citrusy kick. Crusting the salmon in sesame seeds just before serving gives it a crunch that sous-vide alone can’t provide. Finally, the bok choy and rice round out the meal making it a complete and healthy dinner ready for you and your family when you get home. Feel free to replace the jasmine rice with brown rice or quinoa for a boost in fiber making this an even more wholesome meal.
