Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel. Brush all sides with olive oil. Rub the spice mixture evenly over the flesh side of each fillet. Sprinkle with the chopped fresh dill and the zest of the lemon.
Place the salmon fillets skin-side down on the preheated grill. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and releases easily from the grate. Carefully flip the fillets and cook for another 2-4 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the grill and let it rest for 2-3 minutes. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the fillets before serving. Serve immediately with extra lemon wedges on the side.

Boil the liquid
Add and steep the couscous
Let it steam
Fluff and serve
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat. Once the oil shimmers, add the thinly sliced garlic and red chili flakes (if using).
Sauté the garlic for about 30-60 seconds, stirring constantly, until it becomes fragrant and turns a very light golden color. Do not let it brown, as burnt garlic will taste bitter.
Add the thoroughly dried spinach to the skillet. The pan will be very full. If necessary, add the spinach in 2-3 batches, allowing the first batch to wilt down for about 30 seconds before adding the next.
Using tongs, gently toss the spinach to coat it with the garlic-infused oil. Continue to toss until all the spinach has wilted and turned a vibrant green, which should take about 2-3 minutes.
Remove the skillet from the heat immediately to prevent overcooking. Squeeze out any excess liquid if you prefer a drier consistency. Season with salt, black pepper, and fresh lemon juice. Toss one last time and serve immediately.
