In a skillet over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon olive oil, and then two salmon fillets, skin side down. (Hold the fish in place for several seconds so the skin doesn't curl.)

Remove, set aside, and repeat with remaining fish fillets. Discard ginger and bay leaves.
• Finish the dish: In the same skillet the fish was cooked in, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium/high heat. Add the bok choy and a pinch of salt and cook for 1 1/2 minutes, until soft. To serve, place a large dollop of white bean puree on a platter and a few spoonfuls of bok choy next to it. Add pecans and drizzle the brown butter on top.
