Tips:
- Choose the freshest salmon you can find. Wild-caught salmon is typically the best option, as it has a higher fat content and a more flavorful taste.
- Use a good quality spice rub. This is what will give your salmon the most flavor. You can use a store-bought spice rub or make your own. If you're making your own, be sure to use fresh herbs and spices.
- Don't overcook the salmon. Salmon is a delicate fish, so it's important to cook it carefully. Overcooked salmon will be dry and tough.
- Serve the salmon with a simple lemon-garlic spinach. This is a classic side dish that will complement the salmon perfectly.
Conclusion:
Spice-rubbed roasted salmon with lemon-garlic spinach is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that's perfect for any occasion. The salmon is flavorful and moist, while the spinach is tender and flavorful. This dish is sure to please everyone at your table.
