For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes along with the spinach. Freshly squeezed lemon juice is key to the bright, refreshing flavor of this dish. Bottled juice is not recommended. This dish is best served immediately, but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before serving. If you don't have fresh dill, you can substitute 1-2 teaspoons of dried dill, but the flavor will not be as pronounced. To elevate the presentation, garnish with a sprig of fresh dill and a lemon wedge.
