Ingredients

Vinaigrette

2 cups fresh raspberries
3 tablespoons red-wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
½ teaspoon lemon zest, plus more for garnish
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground pepper

Salad

4 4- to 5-oz skinless center-cut salmon fillets, 1 inch thick, thawed if frozen
Cooking spray
¼ teaspoon salt
⅛ teaspoon ground pepper
6 cups lightly packed fresh baby spinach (4 oz.)
2 cups fresh raspberries
½ cup crumbled reduced-fat feta cheese (2 oz.)
¼ cup chopped toasted walnuts

Directions

To prepare vinaigrette: Combine 2 cups raspberries, vinegar, sugar and mustard in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until the berries have broken down and the mixture is slightly thick, 8 to 10 minutes. Let cool slightly.
Press the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve set over a bowl; discard seeds. Stir in lemon zest, 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/8 tsp. pepper. Let cool completely. If desired, thin with a little water.
To prepare salad: Preheat grill to medium.
Oil the grill rack. Pat salmon dry, lightly coat with cooking spray and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Grill the salmon, covered, turning once, until it flakes easily, 7 to 10 minutes.
Combine spinach and half the vinaigrette in a large bowl; toss to coat. Divide among 4 plates. Top with the salmon, raspberries, feta and walnuts. Drizzle with the remaining dressing. Garnish with lemon zest, if desired.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
