Toni Chapman's ultra satisfying recipe uses one of our favorite ZeroPoint Foods, salmon, as the protein base for a creamy, dreamy sauce that's flavored with ginger, sun-dried tomatoes, and onion. Wilted spinach melts into the sauce adding plenty of nutrients while a squeeze of lemon is the perfect finishing touch. Serve with your favorite veggie sides like broccoli, Brussels sprouts, or green beans.
