1

Prepare sauce: Whisk sauce ingredients in a bowl until combined. Chill until ready to use.

2

Prepare salmon: Preheat the grill and spray the hot grill rack with nonstick cooking spray. Grill the salmon over hot coals for 2 minutes per side, turning to make diamond or square grill marks for presentation. Remove the salmon to a platter and cover to keep warm.

3

Prepare spinach: Heat wine in a large sauté pan over medium-low heat. Sauté the garlic in hot wine for 1 minute. Add the spinach to the garlic mixture and sauté just until the spinach turns bright green and wilts. (If the garlic sticks to the pan, add 1-2 Tablespoons vegetable broth or water). Sprinkle the spinach with nutmeg and pepper.

To serve: Pat the spinach dry and portion evenly on 4 heated plates. Arrange salmon so as to partially cover the spinach and drizzle with the sauce. Garnish each plate with 1 sprig of dill weed and 1 lemon wedge.
