Drizzle with olive oil and season both sides with paprika, garlic powder, parsley, black pepper, and salt. Rub the seasonings into the salmon until evenly coated. -Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 tablespoons of oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Once heated, add the seasoned salmon and cook for about 4–5 minutes on each side, depending on the thickness, until golden brown and cooked through. The salmon should reach an internal temperature of 145°F. Remove from the skillet and set aside. -In the same skillet, add the diced onion and finely chopped garlic. Sauté for about 2–3 minutes until the onions soften and the garlic becomes fragrant. -Add the halved cherry tomatoes to the skillet. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover with a lid, and cook for about 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes soften and begin releasing their juices. -Pour in the heavy cream and reserved pasta water. Stir everything together, then season with paprika, parsley, salt, and black pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 2–3 minutes. -Add the fresh spinach and stir until wilted. Reduce the heat to low, then gradually stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce becomes smooth and creamy. -Add the cooked fettuccine to the skillet and gently toss until the pasta is fully coated in the creamy Tuscan sauce. Allow everything to cook together for another 1–2 minutes so the flavors combine. -Divide the creamy fettuccine between serving plates and top each with a seasoned salmon fillet. Garnish with additional Parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, or cracked black pepper if desired. Serve warm and enjoy! 🫶🏻 #pasta #salmon #creamy #lunch #dinner - @amnacooks3
