I love just about anything cooked on the grill.  However, there is something special about oven baked salmon.  The fresh salmon flavor really shines through in this simple, healthy, delicious one dish meal.  I almost forgot … the wasabi-ginger-garlic-mayonnaise is icing on the cake!

Before you do anything else preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Put a large baking sheet in the oven to get it nice and hot – about 15 minutes.  While the pan is preheating, mix together the wasabi sauce.
  

Grate a one inch piece of fresh ginger, and mince two large garlic cloves.  

Place half the ginger and half the garlic in a small bowl with 1/4 cup mayonnaise and 1 teaspoon wasabi paste.  Blend and refrigerate until ready to serve.  Wasabi is a Japanese horseradish paste and is available in the Asian food section of a well stocked grocery store.

Generously season three 6 ounce wild caught salmon fillets with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.  
Set aside.

In a large mixing bowl combine the bok choy and mushrooms.

Add two cups of sliced green cabbage and one large chopped shallot.  Sprinkle in the remaining ginger and garlic.

Drizzle 2 tablespoons olive oil on the vegetables and toss to combine.

Place the salmon and vegetables on the hot baking sheet.  

Bake stirring the vegetables occasionally until salmon is cooked through – about 15-19 minutes.  

Divide the vegetables into large bowls or plates, top with a piece of salmon and a dollop of wasabi mayonnaise.

Serve and enjoy!

    This looks so amazing and so healthy. I have not cooked with bok choy yet, but my kids have had it at restaurants and they love it. We also love salmon so this dish would be a winner in our house. <br /><br />I agree with you that camping food is the best. There is just something about eating and cooking in nature.
