Grilled Salmon with Spinach and Yogurt Dill Sauce

Lots of great flavors come together easily!

Start to finish: 1/2 hour. Serves 4

Ingredients

YOGURT- DILL SAUCE:

  • ½ cup nonfat yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish
  • 1 teaspoon minced fresh dill (save some extra sprigs for garnish)

SALMON:

  • Four 6-ounce salmon filets

SPINACH AND ASSEMBLY:

  • ¼ cup white wine
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 10 ounces fresh spinach leaves (trimmed) or 10 oz box frozen spinach thawed & well dried
  • dash of freshly ground black pepper
  • lemon wedges for garnish

Directions

  1. PREPARE THE SAUCE:

    • In a medium bowl, whisk the sauce ingredients until combined. Chill until ready to use.

    PREPARE THE SALMON:

    • Preheat the grill and spray the hot grill rack with nonstick cooking spray. Grill the salmon over hot coals for 2 minutes per side, turning to make diamond or square grill marks for presentation. Remove the salmon to a platter and cover to keep warm.

    PREPARE THE SPINACH:

    • Heat the wine in a large sauté pan over medium-low heat. Sauté the garlic in hot wine for 1 minute. Add the spinach to the garlic mixture and sauté just until the spinach turns bright green and wilts. (If the garlic sticks to the pan, add 1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable broth or water). Sprinkle the spinach with nutmeg and pepper.

    TO SERVE:

    • Pat the spinach dry and portion evenly on 4 plates. Arrange the salmon so as to partially cover the spinach and drizzle with the sauce. Garnish each plate with 1 sprig of dill weed and 1 lemon wedge.
