• For the Salmon.

  Mix the powdered garlic, dried basil, salt and pepper together.

  About the Salmon dry "rub", you could use any dry ingredients that YOU prefer. Like paprika, lemon pepper, dried sage and on and on. Even some lemon zest would work well. Gently rub the fillets with the "rub".

  Put the skillet for the salmon on at medium high and add the butter when the butter has stopped foaming put in the salmon filets. Cook them for about 2 to 5 minutes a side depending on how thick they are and how done that YOU like them. I test it for doneness with a table fork. Insert the fork just about a quarter inch. Gently twist it and if the salmon wants to flake apart it is ready. When the salmon is done turn the heat for it's skillet off, but, leave the filets in the pan.

For the Potatoes

• Put a skillet on at medium high for the onions with a couple of tablespoons of olive oil. Like Rachael Ray says Just "eyeball it". Spread out the onions and lightly sprinkle with salt and pepper. Lay the potatoes out on the onions and squash them down.You are not going to turn the potatoes over. Just leave them "face down" in the pan.

For the spinach

• Put another skillet on at medium low and enough good extra virgin olive oil to cover the bottom. Add the garlic and spread it out so that it is all lying flat. Sprinkle a little salt, black pepper and red pepper flakes (optional on the red flakes).
• Add the spinach to the garlicky skillet and toss it with a pancake kinda flipper until it is as softened up as YOU like it. It really only takes a matter of seconds before it is wilted so watch and flip. Don't let it get soggy.
• Then serve up and enjoy your Quick Salmon Dinner with a wedge of lemon for the salmon and the spinach.
