Sesame-Crusted Salmon

• 1/4 cup sesame seeds
• 1 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes
• 4 salmon fillets, about 4 oz each
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 2 carrots, cut into matchsticks
• 2 red bell peppers, cored, seeded, and thinly sliced
• 8 oz shiitake mushrooms, halved
• 2 bok choy, quartered lengthwise
• 4 scallions, shredded
• 1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
• basmati or long-grain rice, to serve

1. Mix the sesame seeds and red pepper flakes on a plate, then press the salmon fillets into the mixture to coat.
2. Heat half the oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, add the salmon, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, until cooked through. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
3. Heat the remaining oil in the skillet over high heat, add the vegetables, and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until just cooked. Drizzle the soy sauce over the vegetables and serve with the salmon and basmati rice.
