Ingredients
- 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.
- Red pepper flakes are optional.

This is date night awesome! And the mix of flavors and textures? All paired amazing together! Step 2 – reserving the tsp of seasoning should actually refer to reserving for the garlic-panko sauté not the “sauce” because, it’s really not a sauce, but it IS an elevated rendition of butter noodles!! Delicious! Great recipe DailyGourmet! I was impressed!
these were some of the best tasting noodles ever. The crunchy, buttery noodles paired beautifully with the blackened salmon.
Recipe mentions a sauce but there was no sauce ? This is just salmon over butter noodles, and I have left over seasoning. It tastes pretty good but is dry. I added chopped fresh basil to the rub. I would maybe make this again but add a white sauce recipe to it.
