Ingredients

• 1 x 6 oz bag of baby spinach leaves
• A handful of mint leaves
• A few sheets of thinly sliced nori seaweed
• A few pieces of thinly sliced candied ginger

For the Vinaigrette:

• 1/2 cup of rice wine vinegar
• 1 cup of any vegetable oil
• A few heaping spoonfuls of honey (2 tbsp)
• A heaping spoonful or two of miso paste (I always omit this)
• A small knob of grated ginger
• A few dashes of toasted sesame oil (1tsp)
• A few dashes of soy sauce (3 tsp)

Directions:

Toss the spinach, mint, nori seaweed and ginger with a generous splash of the dressing. It’s as simple as that.

For the Vinaigrette:

Mix everything together until smooth vinaigrette forms. A blender, food processor or an old-fashioned whisk and bowl all work well but I prefer my immersion blender. It’s easier to clean up!

Ingredients

1 cup pure maple syrup

3 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced

1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice

6 garlic cloves, minced

2 tablespoon soy sauce

2 lb. center cut salmon filet, with skin

Salt & pepper to taste

1 bunch of scallions

Directions

In a small saucepan, combine maple syrup, ginger, lemon, garlic, and Soy sauce. Simmer and reduce to about 1 cup (about 30 minutes). Let cool. Using a clean cloth, rub the top of the plank with ½ cup of olive oil. Arrange the scallions on the surface of the plank. Preheat oven to 400°F.

Place the salmon, skin side down, on the scallions. Season the fish with sea salt and black pepper. Using a large brush baste the salmon. Roast for approximately 25 to 30 minutes until the fish is cooked through. During the cooking process baste every ten minutes, and baste again just before serving.

Serve on the plank.
