SPICE-RUBBED ROASTED SALMON WITH LEMON-GARLIC SPINACH

Spice-Rubbed Roasted Salmon With Lemon-Garlic Spinach image

From Cooking Light December 2007. Don't let the mix of spices fool you, this one is a keeper. The smell and flavor is amazing. Definitely a restaurant quality dish. The spinach... I just found a new favorite way to prepare fresh cooked spinach. I hope you enjoy as much as I did! Served with garlic mashed potatoes. Note: I forgot to add the fresh cilantro; looking forward to making this again and tasting it with the cilantro garnish.
