Sake-Poached Salmon With Wilted Greens And Shallot Vinaigrette

• 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
