Cook pasta according to the package instructions, take it out at “al dente” as you will cook it more in the next steps. Toss salmon pieces with Creole blend (add more if necessary). Add 1 tbsp olive oil to large frying pan and heat. Place salmon pieces skin side down. flip over for a minute and remove skin with tongs and discard. Remove from pan (this will finish cooking in the sauce). Add remaining oil to a heavy bottomed pot, and saute bell peppers with onions and green onions. Add the minced garlic and cook until it’s fragrant. Add all seasonings to the pot. Add heavy cream, coconut milk, chicken and vegetable stock and cream cheese to the pot.
