Light and Healthy Salmon and Fresh Spinach

This recipe was a huge hit at my house yesterday. At first I was just going to do the salmon and then regular salad on the side, but then I thought - how boring?! I came up with this when I was coming home from work and just knew it would be a hit. It is so healthy and so delicious- so light and perfect if you're trying to eat healthier.

Light and Healthy Salmon and Fresh Spinach
2 salmon fillets
lemon juice (about the amount of lemon juice from 1 lemon)
seasonal salt
dry or fresh parsley
4 tbsp. dried cranberries
2 cups of fresh spinach leaves

Dressing
1/2 tbsp. salt
1/8 cup of white sugar + 1 tsp.
3/8 cup of vegetable or canola oil
3 tbsp. of balsamic vinegar

1. preheat oven to 350
2. poke the salmon with a fork
3. drizzle the lemon juice over the salmon
4. sprinkle the seasonal salt over the salmon (about 1/2 tsp)
5. then sprinkle the the parsley over the salmon (1/4 tsp.)
6. bake for for 25-30 minutes

7. Put 1 cup of spinach into each bowl
8. cut up each the salmon into large bite sizes and place ontop of spinach
9 put 2 tbsp. dried cranberries in each bowl
10. mix the dressing ingrediants together
11. pour over and serve immediately! (the salmon should be hot when you serve it for best tastes)

Yum and Enjoy!!!
