Salmon with Spinach and Carmelized Leeks and Sauteed Baby Artichokes
Miso Salmon with Carmelized Leek and Spinach Sautee
Simple, fast and healthy. The recipe for the salmon is clickable above. For the side dish, the leeks were sauteed on low heart until caramelized, then the spinach was added and the dish was seasoned with salt and pepper. Use whatever proportions of leeks and spinach work for you.
