Vinaigrette:
2 1/2 tablespoons minced shallots
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
2 teaspoons honey
2 teaspoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon extravirgin olive oil
Salmon:
1 cup water
1/2 cup sake (rice wine)
1 (1/2-inch) piece of peeled fresh ginger, thinly sliced
4 (6-ounce) salmon fillets (1 inch thick)
6 cups chopped trimmed Swiss chard (about 8 ounces)
5 cups spinach leaves (about 3 ounces)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

1
To prepare vinaigrette, combine first 5 ingredients in a small bowl. Slowly add olive oil, stirring constantly with a whisk. Set aside.
2
To prepare salmon, combine 1 cup water, sake, and ginger in a large saute pan over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and add salmon to pan. Cover and simmer 6 minutes. Remove salmon and ginger from pan. Discard the ginger.
3
Add Swiss chard and spinach to pan; cook 2 minutes or until wilted. Stir in salt and pepper. Divide the spinach mixture evenly among 4 plates. Top each serving with 1 salmon fillet; drizzle each serving with 2 tablespoons vinaigrette.
4
Wine note: With the lively and abundant acidity of lemon juice, rice wine vinegar, and sake, this dish needs a bright, fresh wine to match. Try an affordable Austrian gruner veltliner like Loimer Lois 2006 ($14), with its refreshing lemon-lime and grapefruit flavors, and hints of English peas and beeswax. The slightly green, herbal finish permits it to complement the Swiss chard. -Jeffery Lindenmuth
