1
Wash the Spinach
Thoroughly rinse the fresh spinach under cold water to remove any dirt or sand. Drain and set aside.
2
Prepare the Garlic
Peel and finely chop the garlic cloves.

3
Heat the Olive Oil
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat until shimmering.
4
Sauté the Garlic
Add the chopped garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, or until fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn.
5
Add the Spinach
Gradually add the washed spinach to the skillet, stirring continuously to help it wilt evenly.
6
Season the Spinach
Once the spinach has wilted (about 2-3 minutes), sprinkle in the salt and black pepper, then stir to combine.
7
Finish with Lemon Juice
Remove the skillet from heat and drizzle the lemon juice over the sautéed spinach. Give it a final stir.
