This was tonight's dinner - Baked Salmon w/Spinach,
Tomatoes and Chiles.

It was really good. Of course, if you wish to make
this much spicier (I used tomatoes w/green chiles in
it), you can sprinkle in some ground chile of your
choice or sprinkle in some hot sauce. I served it up
restaurant-style - fancy. It was pretty.

--------------------------------
   1      tbsp          extra-virgin olive oil
   1      tbsp          garlic infused oil
   2                    shallots -- minced
   1      15 oz can     Diced tomatoes w/green chiles
-- drained
   1      cup           chicken broth
   2      7 oz fillets  salmon
   2      lg cloves     garlic -- crushed
   8      oz            fresh spinach -- washed &
stemmed
     1/2                ripe tomato -- chopped
                        Hawaiian red salt -- as
garnish*

Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. In a large, deep
skillet (a chicken fryer is perfect), heat 1 tbsp of
oil over medium-high heat and add the shallot and
tomatoes. Saute lightly for 1 minute, then stir in the
broth. Place the salmon in a baking dish large enough
to hold fillets in a single layer. Pour sauce over
them and bake for 10 minutes for medium-rare. 

In the meantime, heat the remaining oil in skillet.
Add the garlic and saute lightly, for 30 seconds or so
until fragrant. Do not brown. Add the spinach. Saute
quickly until it wilts, this should take 1 minute.
Divide the spinach among 2 serving plates. Place one
fillet of salmon top of each and pour the sauce evenly
over the fish. Garnish with chopped tomato and
Hawaiian red salt (just a tiny sprinkle).

Drizzle some of the sauce juices around the plate.

NOTES : Risa's notes:

* If you do not have Hawaiian Red Salt (which is more
of a salmon pink color), use coarse sea salt. If you
don't have that, then omit.

I served this with some basmati rice that I put in a
greased mold (greased with garlic oil) and then
unmolded on the plate. I sprinkled a bit of the salt
on top of that too and took a couple of the pieces of
garlic and garnished with that too.
