1. **Prepare the Salmon**: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle 1 tablespoon (15 ml) of olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic over the salmon. Sprinkle with salt and pepper, then zest the lemon over the top. 2. **Bake the Salmon**: Place the salmon in the preheated oven and bake for about 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork. 3. **Cook the Vegetables**: In a large skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of olive oil over medium heat. Add the broccoli florets and sauté for 5 minutes. Add the spinach and cook until wilted, about 2 more minutes. Season with salt and pepper. 4. **Serve**: Divide the broccoli and spinach mixture between two plates. Top with the baked salmon. Garnish with additional lemon zest if desired, and enjoy! ---
