Grill the salmon fillets skin-side down for 4-5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
- Assemble the Dish: Plate the grilled salmon fillets with the grilled bok choy on the side. Spoon the orange avocado salsa over the salmon and garnish with extra cilantro if desired.
