How to be creative
  • Add a splash of lemon juice for a refreshing tang.
  • Top with a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt for creaminess.
  • Incorporate a medley of other vegetables like carrots or celery for added texture and nutrition.
Important Tips
  • Use skin-on salmon for a richer flavor and nutrient boost.
  • Do not overcook the spinach; it should remain vibrant green and slightly crunchy.
  • Adjust the seasoning towards the end of cooking for better flavor control.
