Salmon and Spinach With Caper Sauce image

Another great fish recipe based on one from the Low Fat Living Cookbook. The original recipe called for wrapping the salmon fillets in phyllo dough, for everyday meals I just use foil. (I always have a package of frozen mixed mushrooms from Trader Joe's on hand, so if I want to make this and don't have fresh mushrooms, the frozen ones work just as well). Sprinkling the spinach with some rice vinegar after baking makes this taste like the sautéed spinach and garlic served at P.F. Chang's.

This salmon and spinach dish with caper sauce was an absolute delight! The salmon was cooked to perfection, flaky and tender, while the spinach was vibrant and flavorful. The caper sauce brought it all together with its tangy and briny notes. Highly
