1 1 12 oz salmon fillet, cut in 4 pieces

Arrange salmon in dish just big enough to hold fillet; pour orange juice mixture over salmon. Marinate in refrigerator for 30 minutes, turning salmon once to distribute flavors. Discard marinade.
Grill salmon skin side up, over medium heat for 5 to 7 minutes; turn and cook for another 5 to 7 minutes, until fish flakes easily.
Just before salmon is done, saute spinach in 1 tsp canola oil. Season with lemon juice and pepper.
Spoon spinach onto heated plates. Top with salmon. Sprinkle with grated orange peel.

Pork Stir Fry

Making a stir fry is a fun and exciting culinary experience with a certain exotic flare. Here, I use a combination of asparagus, onions and bell peppers to add crunch and nutritional value to the dish, and recommend pork tenderloin to satisfy the meat eaters. For a proper stir fry, you need three things: a wok, great flavor and high heat. Canola oil has a high smoke point and neutral flavor so the rest of the ingredients can really shine. Best way to serve a stir fry? Try pairing it with whole grains, like brown rice or quinoa.
