Cooking Steps
Pat the salmon fillets down then drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Heat a large pan over medium-high heat then place the salmon, skin-side down, in the pan and allow to cook for 3-4 minutes until the skin is crisp.
Carefully flip over and cook for another minute. Remove from the pan and set aside.
Season the shrimp/prawns with salt and pepper and drizzle with olive oil.
Cook in the same pan for 1 minute per side until almost cooked through.
Remove and set aside.
Add the onion and garlic to the pan with a knob of butter (or a splash of oil). Cook until fragrant then add the spinach and sundried tomatoes.
Cook until the spinach is wilted then pour in the cream. Add a squeeze of lemon juice and season with salt and pepper.
Allow to simmer for a few minutes until the sauce easily coats the back of a spoon.
Add the salmon and shrimp back to the sauce and cook for another minute to warm through the seafood.
Spoon some of the sauce over cooked pasta and toss with a little reserved pasta water and Parmesan.
Serve the pasta topped with the salmon, shrimp and sauce.
