Steps:
- Cook the pasta. Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a roaring boil. Cook the fettuccine according to package instructions to al dente. Strain the pasta and place it to the side.
- Pan sear the salmon. Remove the salmon from the refrigerator so it has time to come to room temperature (this helps with cooking the salmon evenly). Melt the butter in a large pan over medium heat. Pat dry the salmon filets with a paper towel. Sprinkle the salmon with paprika, salt, and pepper. Place the salmon (skin side down) in the pan and sear on each side for 4-5 minutes (depending on size of salmon). Once the salmon is done cooking, remove it from the pan and place it to the side.
- Build the sauce. Sautè the garlic in the remaining butter in the pan for 2 minutes. Add the basil, red pepper flakes, sun dried tomatoes, and heavy cream. Bring the sauce to a light boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer. Add the parmesan cheese and stir until it is melted and well incorporated. Add the spinach and stir, then remove the sauce from the heat once the spinach has wilted.
- Combine. Toss the pasta in the sauce, then top with the salmon and any juices that have accumulated. Serve with a pinch of fresh parsley and more parmesan cheese. Mangia!
