Ingredients
  

  • 8 cups baby spinach packed
  • 1 1/2 pounds salmon filet skin removed cut into 4 equal filets
  • 3 1/2 ounces shitake mushrooms
  • 1 bunch scallions thinly sliced, white and green parts, divided
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons seasoned rice vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon fresh minced ginger
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

For serving

  • 2 cups prepared short grain brown rice 
  • Scallions reserved from above
  • 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds
  • 1 lime cut into wedges

Instructions
 

  • Preheat grill to high heat.
  • Whisk together soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sesame oil, sriracha, ginger and garlic powder until well combined. 
  • Prepare 4 pieces of foil (about dinner plate size). Place 2 cups of baby spinach in the center of each piece of foil. Top spinach with salmon, shitake mushrooms and half of the scallions. Pour marinade equally overtop each salmon packet. Fold over the foil to seal each packet tightly (you don’t want heat to escape). 
  • Reduce grill heat to medium high. Place packets on grill and cook for ~10-15 minutes, depending on thickness of salmon filets. Cook until fish flakes easily with a fork and is opaque throughout (check salmon by removing one packet from the grill and opening very carefully - hot steam!).
  • Remove packets from grill. Place salmon filets, veggies and sauce overtop brown rice. Top with remaining scallions and toasted sesame seeds. 
  • Serve with lime wedges.
