Instructions
Creating Baked Salmon With Spinach is a simple process. Follow these easy steps to enjoy this delightful dish:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
3. Sauté Spinach: In a skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Then, add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Arrange Salmon: Place the salmon fillets in the prepared baking dish, skin-side down.
5. Season the Salmon: Drizzle the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over the salmon. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Sprinkle dried oregano if using.
6. Add Spinach: Distribute the sautéed spinach evenly over the salmon fillets.
7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.
8. Check for Doneness: Ensure the salmon is cooked through but still moist. A digital thermometer should read 145°F (63°C) at the thickest part.
9. Remove and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes.
