Preparation:
1. Combine soy sauce, water, sugar and ginger in baking dish. Add salmon, turning to coat, and let stand 15 minutes.
2. Meanwhile, heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat 1 minute. Add sesame seeds and toast 2 1/2 to 3 minutes.
3. Add vegetable oil to same skillet and heat 1 minute over medium-high heat. Add salmon, skin side up; cook 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce heat to medium; turn salmon, cover and cook 3 minutes more, until cooked through. Transfer salmon to plate; discard skin. Add remaining marinade to skillet and boil 1 to 2 minutes, until syrupy.
4. Meanwhile, lightly coat Dutch oven with vegetable cooking spray. Heat 1 minute over medium heat. Add garlic, spinach and water. Cover and cook 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until spinach is wilted. Stir in salt and sesame oil. Serve salmon topped with soy glaze and sesame seeds with spinach and orzo. Garnish with green onions.
Notes: Food Editor's Favorite The salmon marinates in a soy-ginger sauce. Sesame seeds are toasted for a tastier crunch; a touch of sesame oil is added for a flavor punch.
