Creamy Salmon Pasta

1. Cut the salmon into bite-sized cubes and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the olive oil. Add the salmon and cook for about 3 minutes, then flip the pieces and continue cooking.
3. Meanwhile, cook the pasta according to the package directions. Reserve about 1/4 cup of pasta water before draining.
4. Add the butter, minced garlic, and cherry tomatoes to the skillet with the salmon. Cook for a few minutes, until the tomatoes begin to soften and the salmon is cooked through.
5. Pour in the half-and-half and bring the sauce to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low and let it simmer for 2–3 minutes.
6. Add the cooked pasta and spinach, tossing until the spinach wilts and everything is coated in the creamy sauce. Add a small splash of reserved pasta only if needed to loosen the sauce.
7. Top with lots of Parmesan and serve!
