Karens Salmon with Pineapple Salsa and Spinach & Tomatoes

Salmon is such a healthy fish to eat, that I am always looking for new ways to serve it. I came up with this idea after having something similar in a restaurant. Tomatoes are a favorite at my house, so I added them and tossed in the spinach in place of rice. Of course, if you still want, you can add rice, orzo or light pasta. This recipe makes 4 servings.

4 pieces of skinless salmon fillets
2 Tbs. reduced sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 Tbs. Dijon mustard
3 Tbs. Thai sweet chili sauce
2 limes
1 ripe small pineapple
1 bag 9 oz. baby spinach
1 container cherry tomatoes

Directions:

Preheat broiler.
From limes, grate 1/2 teaspoon peel and squeeze 3 Tbs. juice.
Stir juice and peel chili sauce , soy sauce, and Dijon until blended.
Reserve 3 Tbs. of mixture to glaze salmon, set aside.
Arrange salmon on foil lined rack from broiling pan, place pan in oven and broil 5 min.
Brush salmon with reserved chili sauce mixture and broil 4 to 5 min.
Peel and core pineapple into chunks.
Add cut up pineapple to remaining chili sauce toss to coat.
To serve divide spinach and tomatoes in 4 plates, top each with salmon, drizzle pineapple juices over spinach.
