1
Heat a heavy bottomed saute pan over medium-high heat.

2
Test the pan's heat with a piece of onion; if it sizzles the pan is the right heat and all the onions can be added.

Stir the onions in the pan; they will stick and that's ok. Let them get some color, and then add 1/4 cup warm water a little at a time to loosen them.

Let it reduce down until the onions are translucent.

Add the scallions and saute them, adding a little warm water to deglaze the pan.

Let the scallions caramelize and get color, and then add the garlic.

7
When the garlic starts to get a nice color, add the mushrooms.

Stir constantly and slowly add enough warm water to help deglaze the pan.

Add the ginger.
-
11
Saute slightly and add enough warm water to just cover the bottom of the pan.

12
Squeeze 1/2 of the lemon into the pan, place the baby bok choy on top and then place the salmon in the middle of the pan.

13
Cover and let simmer for 5 minutes.
