Slow roasting salmon in a savory, tart dressing leaves it tender and lightly flavored. While the salmon cooks, make a quick vegetable stir-fry that you'll love for leftovers and is great even on its own.

Prep
Make aminos ginger sauce - Grate ginger. Combine ginger with aminos, cooking oil (the portion for the sauce), lime juice, vinegar, toasted sesame oil and honey. (Remaining ingredients - almond butter, water and sesame seeds will be added during cooking.) (Can be done up to 5 days ahead)
Bok choy / Carrots / Cabbage / Limes / Green onions - Prep as directed. Combine bok choy, carrots, cabbage and white parts of green onions. Store green parts of green onions separately. (Can be done up to 2 days ahead)
Place fish into a baking dish. Pour half the aminos ginger sauce over fish (reserve the remaining half). Cover with foil and bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, 12 to 18 minutes (depending on thickness).
While fish cooks, heat a wok over medium-high heat. Add cooking oil (the portion for the stir-fry) and then carrots, cabbage, bok choy and white parts of green onions to heated oil. Saute until vegetables are tender, 2 to 4 minutes.
Whisk almond butter, water and sesame seeds into remaining half of aminos ginger sauce. Pour sauce over vegetables and simmer to let sauce thicken, ~2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in cashews.
Top stir-fry with green parts of green onions.
Serve fish with stir-fry on the side and lime wedges for squeezing over top. Enjoy!
