Ingredients

1 1/2 teaspoons lime peel, finely grated
3 tablespoons fresh lime juice
2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
4 teaspoons fresh ginger, finely chopped
1 teaspoon Chinese five spice powder
1/2 teaspoon sugar substitute
1 lb salmon steak, cut into 4 equal pieces
8 cups baby spinach leaves
2 garlic cloves, pressed

Directions

1

In a 2-quart dish, combine the lime peel, lime juice, 1 teaspoon of the oil, ginger, five-spice powder, and sugar substitute. Add the salmon and turn to coat. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2

In a 3-quart microwavable dish, combine spinach, garlic, and remaining 1 teaspoon oil, tossing gently. Cover with plastic wrap and microwave for 2 minutes, or until the spinach has wilted. Drain and keep warm.
3

Lightly oil a grill rack. Preheat the grill to medium-high.

Remove the salmon from the marinade and place on the grill rack. Brush the salmon with additional marinade. Close the grill cover and cook for 4 minutes. Open the grill cover, turn the salmon, and brush with marinade. Close the cover and cook for 4 minutes longer, or until the salmon flakes easily. Discard any remaining marinade.

To serve, evenly divide the spinach among 4 serving plates and center the salmon on the spinach beds.
