Method
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet and bake for about 20 minutes, until the flesh is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
Remove the salmon from the oven and squeeze the juice of half a lemon over the fillets.
Drizzle olive oil over the salmon and the vegetables, then add the chopped garlic, cherry tomatoes, spinach leaves, and the garlic‑herb cream cheese; season with salt, black pepper, and chili flakes to taste.
Stir in the cooked pasta and mix everything together until well combined and the cheese has melted into a creamy sauce.

- Add lemon juice immediately after baking
- Squeeze the half‑lemon over the hot salmon right after removing it from the oven.
- Combine pasta while sauce is warm
- Stir the cooked pasta into the pan while the cheese is melting.
- Bake salmon at 200 °C for 20 minutes
