4 cups fresh baby spinach

14 ounces fresh salmon fillet, skin removed and cut into 1-inch pieces

Instructions
In a large deep skillet or pot, heat olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the halved cherry tomatoes and cook for 2 minutes until they start to soften.
Pour in the vegetable broth, water, and heavy cream. Stir to combine.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to medium-low and simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes.
Add the salmon pieces and fresh spinach to the pot, gently stirring to combine.
Continue cooking for another 5-7 minutes until the pasta is tender, the salmon is cooked through, and the spinach has wilted.
Remove the pot from heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and fresh lemon juice.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
