Step 1
Preheat oven to 400°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Pat the 4 salmon fillets dry and season both sides with 1/2 tsp salt.
Step 3
Place salmon on the baking sheet, skin-side down. Bake until opaque and flaky, about 12-15 minutes.
Step 4
While salmon bakes, make the sauce: in a small bowl, mix 1/2 cup Greek yogurt, juice of 1 lemon, 2 tbsp chopped dill, and 1 minced garlic clove. Season with a pinch of salt.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil over medium. Add 2 sliced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
Step 6
Add 8 cups spinach in batches, tossing until wilted, about 3-4 minutes. Season with remaining 1/2 tsp salt.
Step 7
Divide spinach among plates, top with salmon, and drizzle with the yogurt sauce.
Step 8
For a crispy garnish, fry extra sliced garlic in 1 tbsp olive oil until golden, about 2 minutes, and sprinkle over the top.
