Baked Salmon With Bok Choy

Just Nora's Note:

This is an old Atkins recipe, but it's just delicious, and obviously very low carb! Baking the salmon at a high temperature gives it a thick, crunchy crust. Bok choy, also known as Chinese cabbage, is a mild, quick-cooking green. Recipe developed by Wendy Kalen.
