Instructions:
Prepare the Salmon:
If using fresh salmon, bake or poach the fillet until cooked through (about 12-15 minutes at 375°F/190°C). Let it cool, then flake into chunks with a fork.
If using canned salmon, drain and remove any bones and skin.
Saute Spinach:
In a pan over medium heat, saute the chopped spinach until wilted (about 2 minutes). Allow it to cool slightly and squeeze out excess moisture if needed.
