Maple Salmon on Asian Inspired Greens

This dish is an absolute success every time I make it and people can't seem to get enough of it. With the contrast of the crunchy baby spinach and the caramelization on the salmon, this dish is a sure hit at any entertaining event. As the picture shows, this dish starts off by placing a bed of baby spinach on a plate, tossed with slivers of red onion and then sprinkled with a hot vinaigrette. On either side of the salmon we can find juicy, tender mushrooms, which have been steamed in a foil pouch with teriaki sauce. Placed on top is the piece of salmon which marinated in a maple/soya sauce.
