Bake for 12-15 minutes or until salmon is almost opaque.

In a large high-sided skillet, heat butter over medium/low heat. Add garlic and cook for one minute stirring constantly. Add wine, heavy cream, lemon juice, lemon zest, reserved pasta water, salt and pepper. Turn heat to medium high and cook for 5-6 minutes or until mixture is thickened to a thin sauce consistency. Reduce heat to low.
Drain linguini and add to skillet. Stir in spinach and capers and cook over low heat 1 to 2 minutes or until spinach is wilted.
