For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the salmon before baking. Feel free to experiment with different types of cheese, such as Parmesan or Gruyere. If you don't have fresh spinach, frozen spinach (thawed and squeezed dry) can be used as a substitute. Serve with roasted asparagus or a simple side salad for a complete and balanced meal.
