Common questions
- Can I use frozen salmon and spinach for these recipes?
- Yes, frozen salmon works great and often cooks faster—just thaw it first or add a few extra minutes to cooking time. Frozen spinach is convenient but squeeze out excess moisture before adding to prevent watery dishes.
- What's a good side dish to serve with salmon and spinach?
- Simple carbs like rice, pasta, or roasted potatoes complement these recipes well, or serve over cauliflower rice for a lower-carb option.
- How long can I store leftover salmon and spinach dishes?
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days, or freeze for up to 2 months for best quality.
- Can I substitute spinach with other greens?
- Absolutely—kale, arugula, Swiss chard, or broccoli work as direct substitutes with similar cooking times.
- What's the cheapest way to make these recipes?
- Buy salmon on sale and freeze it, use canned salmon as a budget alternative, and buy fresh spinach in bulk to portion and freeze yourself.
