Spice-rubbed Roasted Salmon with Lemon-Garlic Spinach

It's been a while since we had salmon, and I always want to try to do something different with salmon. I came across this recipe from Cooking Light and it looked so quick and easy and had great reviews.

I tried it. It was delicious! And was seriously a snap - maybe 15 minutes top - to prepare. We'll definitely make this again. Great for weeknights or a little fancier with company. Oh, to have a house to throw a big party in and cook up some salmon too!

Salmon:

• 1/2  teaspoon  salt
• 1/2  teaspoon  ground cumin
• 1/2  teaspoon  ground coriander
• 1/4  teaspoon  paprika
• 1/8  teaspoon  ground cinnamon
• 1/8  teaspoon  freshly ground black pepper
• 1  (2 1/4-pound) skinless salmon fillet
• 2  cups  thinly sliced onion
• Cooking spray

Spinach:

• 1  teaspoon  olive oil
• 2  garlic cloves, minced
• 2  (6-ounce) packages fresh baby spinach
• 1  teaspoon  grated lemon rind
• 1/4  teaspoon  salt
• 1  tablespoon  fresh lemon juice
• Remaining ingredients:
• 2  tablespoons  chopped fresh cilantro
• Lemon wedges (optional)

Preheat oven to 400°.

To prepare salmon, combine first 6 ingredients; rub spice mixture evenly over fish. Place onion in an 11 x 7-inch baking dish coated with cooking spray. Place fish on top of onion; bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until fish flakes easily when tested with a fork or until desired degree of doneness.

To prepare spinach, heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add garlic to pan; cook 1 minute. Add half of spinach; cook for 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add remaining spinach; cook 4 minutes or until wilted, stirring frequently. Sprinkle spinach mixture with rind and 1/4 teaspoon salt. Stir in juice; remove from heat.

Place salmon on a platter. Arrange onions and spinach evenly around salmon. Sprinkle salmon with chopped fresh cilantro. Serve with lemon wedges, if desired.
