Ingredients
4 salmon fillets (4-6 oz. each)4 tablespoons grainy yellow mustard4-5 spring fresh dill, or dried dill1 cup broth - chicken or vegatable3 tablespoons soy sauce
Directions
Spread each salmon fillet with the grainy mustard and sprinkle with dill. Cover and refrigerate for about 20 minutes to allow flavor to develop. In the meatime, bring broth and soy sauce to a boil in a deep pan with a lid. Thoroughly wash spinach (the baby spinach in a bag is what I always use for this recipe). When liquid is boiling, place salmon in pan for about 4 minutes and poach with lid on. When salmon is almost cooked, pile spinach into pan and put lid on to steam spinach (it will shrink way down). Cook another 4-5 minutes. Take care not to overcook salmon or it will be dry. Serve with your favorite brown rice or whole wheat pasta - use the poaching liquid as a sauce. This is fabulous, quick and light! Use leftover salmon in your salad for lunch the next day.

    I didn't think my family would like this recipe, particularly my younger brother, but they all loved it! - 4/6/09
