STEAMED SPINACH WITH LEMON

• Fill a medium saucepan with 2 inches of water, and fit with a steamer insert. Bring to a boil. Add spinach. Reduce to a simmer. Cover, and steam until spinach has wilted, about 2 minutes.

BUTTERY LEMON SPINACH

Steps:

• Rinse the spinach and place the leaves into a microwavable serving dish. Add the butter, garlic and lemon juice. Cover with plastic wrap. Steam in the microwave until the butter is melted and spinach is wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove the plastic wrap and toss to distribute seasoning before serving.

GARLIC SAUTEED SPINACH

Steps:

• Rinse the spinach well in cold water to make sure it's very clean. Spin it dry in a salad spinner, leaving just a little water clinging to the leaves.
• In a very large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil and saute the garlic over medium heat for about 1 minute, but not until it's browned. Add all the spinach, the salt, and pepper to the pot, toss it with the garlic and oil, cover the pot, and cook it for 2 minutes. Uncover the pot, turn the heat on high, and cook the spinach for another minute, stirring with a wooden spoon, until all the spinach is wilted. Using a slotted spoon, lift the spinach to a serving bowl and top with the butter, a squeeze of lemon, and a sprinkling of sea or kosher salt. Serve hot.

• Lift the spinach into a warm serving dish. Drizzle over the olive oil and the juice from half the lemon. Sprinkle on the salt and pepper and toss to combine. Serve with the remaining half lemon for those who want to squeeze on a little extra.

SALMON, STEAMED SPINACH, AND A LEMON SALAD

Steps:

• Brush the salmon on both sides with olive oil, then season with salt. Get a nonstick frying pan hot. Place the fish, skin side down, in the pan and cook over medium heat for four or five minutes, until the skin has crisped. Turn, cover with a lid, and cook for a further five minutes or so, until the fish is lightly cooked through to the center.
• Meanwhile, make the salad by cutting away the skin and white pith from the lemons with a sharp knife and slicing the lemons thinly. Put them into a bowl with the sugar, olive oil, and a good handful of parsley leaves, left whole. Add the capers and toss the salad gently. Let sit for a few minutes, during which time the sharpness of the lemon will mellow a little.
• Wash the spinach thoroughly, then steam in a lidded pan for a minute or two, until tender. Drain.
• Put the lemon salad and the spinach on warm plates and slide on the salmon.
