Introduction

This 5-star recipe comes from the Food Network website; I halved it to make the portion sizes more reasonable, and used a salmon fillet rather than a salmon steak. Use low-sodium soy sauce if watching your sodium intake. Grilling the fish on a sheet of heavy-duty aluminum foil sprayed with cooking spray will help to prevent the fillet from falling apart.

Ingredients

    .5 tablespoon canola oil
    .5 tablespoon minced garlic
    .5 tablespoon minced ginger
    .5 tablespoon minced green onion
    .5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
    1/4 cup orange juice
    1/4 cup hoisin sauce
    1/3 cup soy sauce
    1.5 tablespoons honey
    1 teaspoon sesame oil
    16-oz. salmon fillet, 1-inch thick
    * Salt and freshly ground black pepper
    * Vegetable oil, for brushing
    * 3 cups baby spinach

Directions

Heat a medium size saucepan, over medium heat.

Add canola oil and saute garlic, ginger, and green onion until fragrant and tender. Add the red pepper flakes. Mix the remaining ingredients in a separate bowl and add to the saucepan. Bring to a low simmer and cook for 10 minutes.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Lightly season the salmon steaks with salt and pepper. Oil the grill with vegetable oil. Place the fish down for 4 to 5 minutes. Flip the fish over and brush with the barbecue sauce, continue cooking for another 4 to 5 minutes, until opaque throughout. Divide the baby spinach among 4 plates. Place the salmon steaks on top of the beds of spinach while still very hot. This will make the spinach wilt.
