  3. Spray a small baking tray with 4 sprays of olive oil.
  4. Arrange the onion on the tray and place in the oven for 5 minutes.
  5. Take the onions out of the oven and place the salmon fillets on the onions—return to the oven and cook for a further 18-20 minutes.
  6. Meanwhile, spray a non-stick skillet with 6 sprays of olive oil and fry the garlic on a medium heat for a minute.
  7. Add the spinach (in a couple of batches depending on size of skillet) and cook for a few minutes until fully wilted.
  8. Add lemon juice (helps body absorb iron from spinach) and some ground pepper
  9. Serve the salmon on a bed of spinach and onions.

Add some lemon rind to the spinach if you like a more intense lemon flavour and/or serve with fresh lemon wedges. Serve with complex carbohydrates such as rice and/or wild rice for more fibre (not included in the nutritional values).
