It sits atop a bed of bright, lightly sautéed seasonal veggies - yellows, greens, reds - that encircle the salmon. Drizzles of gingery dressing lend a glossy sheen to the dish, highlighting the textures and the freshness. A sprinkle of white sesame seeds brings a dynamic contrast and finishes the picture-perfect display.
