Notes
- For perfectly cooked salmon, use a meat thermometer to ensure it reaches an internal temperature of 145°F (63°C).
- If you don’t have baby spinach, substitute with other tender greens like arugula or spring mix.
- To maximize flavor, marinate the salmon for at least 30 minutes, or even longer in the refrigerator.
