• 0.333 cup Pasta water (Reserved from cooking the pasta)
• Shredded mozzarella cheese (Amount not specified)
• 1 tbsp Garlic powder (Use half of the seasoning mixture for the salmon and half for the sauce)
• 1 tbsp Chipotle chili powder (Use half for the salmon and half for the sauce)
• 1 tbsp Red chili flakes (Use half for the salmon and half for the sauce)
• 1 tbsp Black pepper (Use half for the salmon and half for the sauce)
• 1 tbsp Onion powder (Use half for the salmon and half for the sauce)
• 1 tbsp Slap Ya Mama seasoning (Use half for the salmon and half for the sauce; commercial blend ingredients are not specified)

Steps

1. 1

   Cook the pasta separately and reserve 1/3 cup of the pasta water before draining. The source does not specify the pasta type or cooking directions.

2. 2

   Divide the listed seasoning mixture approximately in half: use one half to season the salmon and reserve the other half for the sauce.

3. 3

   Melt 1 tablespoon of unsalted butter in a pan over low heat.

4. 4

   Add the seasoned salmon and pan-sear it over low heat for 5–6 minutes on each side.

5. 5

   After both sides have been flipped, add the hot honey with chiles. Let the salmon simmer over low heat for 15–20 minutes to keep it tender.

6. 6

   Add 1–2 cups of heavy cream to the pan and stir in 1/3 cup of reserved pasta water.

7. 7

   Add the shredded mozzarella cheese and stir until the sauce reaches the desired consistency.

8. 8

   Add the reserved half of the seasoning mixture and stir to combine.

9. 9

   Add the chopped sun-dried tomatoes and stir.

10. 10

    Add the fresh spinach and stir until incorporated.

11. 11

    Add the cooked pasta and mix well with the sauce and vegetables.

12. 12

    Taste and adjust the seasonings as needed, then serve with the rosemary and garlic biscuits.

Notes

The source does not specify the amount of salmon, mozzarella, sun-dried tomatoes, spinach, pasta, hot honey, or biscuits, nor does it identify the pasta type. The stated 15–20-minute low-heat simmer is longer than the stated searing time; monitor the salmon and sauce while cooking.
