Ingredients

2 servings

•

nonstick cooking spray
•

1 teaspoon sweet paprika
•

1 teaspoon ground cumin
•

½ teaspoon salt
•

½ teaspoon granulated onion
•

½ teaspoon granulated garlic
•

¼ teaspoon black pepper
•

¼ teaspoon seafood seasoning (such as Old Bay®)
•

2 (6 ounce) salmon fillets

•

1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
•

2 tablespoons olive oil
•

1 clove garlic, minced
•

½ cup panko bread crumbs
•

2 cups baby spinach
•

2 tablespoons butter
•

1 pinch red pepper flakes
•

2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan cheese, or to taste

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with foil and spray foil with nonstick spray.
Combine paprika, cumin, salt, onion, garlic, pepper, and seafood seasoning in a small bowl; mix to combine. Set aside 1 teaspoon seasoning for the pasta sauce.
Rub remaining seasoning over salmon fillets and set on the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven until salmon flakes easily with a fork, 20 to 25 minutes.
Meanwhile, bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add garlic and saute until golden, about 30 seconds. Add panko and reserved 1 teaspoon of seasoning. Cook and stir, being careful not to burn, until panko are lightly toasted, about 30 seconds. Remove from the heat and transfer panko to a small bowl.
Place spinach in a colander and set in the sink. Drain the spaghetti over the spinach; the hot water should instantly wilt the spinach. Transfer drained pasta and spinach to the skillet. Add butter and red pepper flakes and toss to coat.
Distribute noodles evenly between 2 bowls, and top each with a salmon fillet, panko, and Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
