The yuzu is a relative of an Asian breed of mandarin orange, and its unique taste touts hints of lemon and grapefruit. It perks up a piece of salmon with citrusy charm, making an ordinary dinner more exciting. Recipes reprinted from CITRUS: SWEET AND SAVORY SUN-KISSED RECIPES Copyright © 2015 by Valerie Aikman-Smith.

Ingredients
-
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed or bottled yuzu juice
-
1 tablespoon yellow miso
-
1 tablespoon soy sauce
-
2 tablespoons maple syrup
-
2 heads baby bok choy, trimmed and sliced lengthwise
-
1 skinless center-cut wild salmon fillet (2 pounds)
-
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Directions
-
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.
