Follow numbered steps for authentic taste and perfectionWhisk vinegar, soy sauce, chili paste, and honey in a small bowl; set aside.
Season salmon with 1 tsp. salt.
Place on a plate and sprinkle with cornstarch, turning to coat.
Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high.
Cook salmon in a single layer, undisturbed, until golden brown underneath, 2–3 minutes.
Turn and cook until other side is lightly golden, about 2 minutes.
Pour sauce over salmon and continue to cook, gently turning salmon halfway through, until sauce is thickened slightly and clinging to salmon, about 1 minute. (Sauce will bubble aggressively when first added and will then calm down.).
Meanwhile, set a steamer basket in a large pot filled with about 1" salted water.
Cover pot and bring water to a boil.
Place bok choy in steamer basket, cover pot, and steam until just tender, 5–7 minutes.
Season with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt.
Place rice (if using) and bok choy on a platter.
Arrange salmon over and drizzle bok choy and salmon with any remaining sauce in skillet.
Top with scallions and sesame seeds.
