Make
- Heat oven to 425F / 218C.
- Transfer baking dish with fish to heated oven. Bake until fish flakes easily with a fork, 10 to 15 minutes (depending on thickness).
- When fish is nearly finished cooking, whisk sauce. Taste sauce and add some more lemon juice, salt, or pepper.
- Toss cucumber and tomato mixture (including any liquid that has accumulated - this will serve as dressing for the salad) with baby spinach.
- Squeeze half the lemon wedges over the fish. Serve fish with sauce on top and salad and extra lemon wedges on the side. Enjoy!
