Grilled Salmon Salad With Miso Vinaigrette
This dish is deceptively simple, but it's chock-full of satisfying superfoods for clear skin. Miso is full of zinc and probiotics, both of which help clarify acne-prone skin. Salmon is one of the best sources of omega-3 fatty acids, a natural anti-inflammatory that can reduce the symptoms of skin conditions including acne. (It's also high in protein, which is important to skin elasticity.) Spinach is rich in antioxidant vitamin A and vitamin C, which also reduce inflammation.

Ingredients
Four 8-ounce salmon fillets, with skin
1-1/2 tablespoons white miso
5-1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2-1/2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon Asian sesame oil
1-1/2 teaspoons soy sauce
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons snipped chives
Freshly ground pepper
1/2 pound baby spinach

Directions
Rub the salmon with 1/2 tablespoon of miso. In a bowl, mix 1-1/2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1-1/2 tablespoons of ginger and the sesame oil. Add the salmon and turn to coat; let stand for 10 minutes.

In a bowl, mix the remaining tablespoon of miso with the remaining tablespoon of ginger. Whisk in the remaining 1/4 cup of lemon juice and the soy, then whisk in the olive oil. Add the chives and season with pepper.

Light a grill or preheat a grill pan. Add the salmon, skin side down. Cover the grill and cook the salmon over a medium-hot fire for 4 to 6 minutes, depending on the thickness of the fillets. Flip the salmon and grill for 2 to 4 minutes longer, or until the salmon is just cooked through. Arrange the spinach on a serving platter and top with the fillets. Drizzle with half of the vinaigrette, and serve immediately.
