Remove any bones from the salmon fillet. Crush the chili peppers in a mortar and pestle and combine with soy sauce, honey, balsamic vinegar, and sesame oil. Add the marinade to the salmon and let it marinate for about 3 hours, turning occasionally. Divide the pak choi into leaves, wash, shake dry, and chop the leaves as needed. Steam in the microwave for about 5 minutes, remove, drain, and season with salt and lemon juice. Slowly fry the salmon fillet in hot clarified butter, skin-side down, over low heat for about 6 minutes, uncovered, until the fish is cooked through. Arrange the salmon fillet with the pak choi and serve.
