Lemon-Caper Salmon with Wilted Spinach

This Lemon-Caper Salmon with Wilted Spinach proves that an elegant, restaurant-worthy dinner can come together in under 30 minutes with just one pan. Crisp-skinned, golden-seared salmon fillets are bathed in a silky butter sauce brightened with fresh lemon juice and briny capers, then plated over a bed of garlic-wilted spinach that soaks up every bit of extra sauce. It's naturally gluten-free, low in carbs, and packed with protein and leafy greens, making it just as suitable for a quick weeknight meal as it is for a dinner party. Because every ingredient here is naturally gluten-free — fresh salmon, butter, lemon, capers, garlic, and spinach — there's no need to worry about hidden gluten in sauces or thickeners. Just be sure to check that your capers and any broth or stock you use are labeled gluten-free, as cross-contamination can occasionally occur in processed jarred goods. The result is a dish so flavorful and satisfying, no one will even notice what's missing.
