    If you’re looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal that’s healthy with lots of protein and vegetables, this Salmon and Spinach recipe is perfect for you! It comes together in 25 minutes. I wouldn’t have thought fish and spinach would make a good combination, but this fish and spinach recipe is perfect. It has a good amount of protein to keep you full and creamy spinach to satisfy your cheese craving for the day.

    The chili spice mixture I put on the salmon has a little heat and pairs perfectly with the creamy, cheesy spinach. This spice combo was my favorite to use, but I also tried out old bay seasoning and dill and lemon juice.
