Main ingredients

4 pieces salmon fillets (6-ounce each)
2 cups fresh spinach, chopped Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture.
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese You can also use other types of cheese.
2 tablespoons olive oil For sautéing the garlic and spinach.
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon lemon juice For flavor enhancement.
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and pepper to taste
Lemon wedges for serving To enhance flavors.

Instructions

Preparation

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a skillet over medium heat, add olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the chopped spinach to the skillet and cook until wilted, about 2-3 minutes. Remove from heat.
In a baking dish, place the salmon fillets skin-side down. Season with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
Spoon the sautéed spinach evenly over each salmon fillet.
Top each fillet with shredded mozzarella cheese.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the salmon in olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs for about 30 minutes before cooking. For a crispy topping, broil the dish for the last couple of minutes after baking.
