My changes are in parenthesis
1/2 pound whole wheat pasta — spaghetti
1 clove garlic — minced
2 tablespoons olive oil (1 1/2 tablespoons)
1/2 teaspoon salt — plus more for seasoning
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper — plus more for seasoning
1 tablespoon olive oil (1 teaspoon)
16 ounces salmon fillets — 4 oz. each
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
3 tablespoons Capers
1 lemon — zested
2 tablespoons lemon juice

Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta and transfer to a large bowl. Add the garlic, extra-virgin olive oil (1 1/2 tabelspoons), salt, and pepper. Toss to combine. Cover to keep warm.
Meanwhile, warm olive oil (1 tsp) in a medium skillet over medium-high heat. Season the salmon with salt and pepper or ( Old Bay seasoning). Add the fish to the pan and cook until medium-rare, about 2 minutes per side, depending on the thickness of the fish. Remove the salmon from the pan.
Add the basil, capers, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the spaghetti mixture and toss to combine. Set out 4 serving plates or shallow bowls. Place 1/2 cup spinach in each bowl. Top with 1/4 of the pasta. Top each mound of pasta with a piece of salmon. Serve immediately.
