Ingredients 3 leeks (white parts only), finely chopped 2 carrots, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks ½ pound snow peas (fresh or frozen) 4 salmon fillets (4 ounces each) 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger 2 tablespoons rice vinegar 3 teaspoons sesame oil, divided 1 bag baby spinach leaves (6 ounces) 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice 1 lemon, cut into quarters (for garnish) Directions ● Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. ● Tear off 4 large sheets (18 by 12 inches) of heavy-duty aluminum foil, and lay each piece on your workspace. Divide the leeks, carrots and snow peas into 4 equal portions, and place a mixture of each onto each sheet of foil. ● Top each mound of vegetables with a piece of salmon. ● Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of ginger on each piece of fish, and drizzle each with ½ tablespoon of vinegar and ¼ teaspoon of sesame oil. ● Fold the foil to form a packet around each piece of fish, leaving enough room for heat to circulate. Roll the edges to seal tightly. ● Place the packets on a cookie sheet and bake for 20 minutes or until the fish flakes easily with a fork. ● Meanwhile, place the spinach leaves in a microwave-safe bowl or platter. ● Drizzle the greens with fresh lemon juice and the remaining sesame oil. ● Heat the spinach in the microwave at high power for 3 minutes, checking every minute to make sure the spinach is tender but not overcooked. ● Divide the greens equally among 4 plates. ● When the salmon is cooked, open the packets carefully to allow the steam to escape. Empty each packet onto each of the beds of spinach. ● Garnish each plate with a lemon wedge and serve. Each serving provides an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin C, folate, magnesium and potassium and is a good source of calcium and dietary fiber. Nutrition information Serving size: ¼ recipe.
