Before starting, preheat the oven to 450°F.Wash and dry all produce. Add 10 cups water and 2 tsp salt to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat. While water comes to a boil, pat barramundi dry with paper towels, then season with salt and pepper. Arrange barramundi on a parchment-lined baking sheet, skin-side down, then drizzle with 1/2 tbsp oil (dbl for 4 ppl). Roast in the middle of the oven until cooked through, 17-19 min.
While barramundi cooks, peel, then mince or grate garlic (6 cloves for 4 ppl). Peel, then finely chop shallot. Roughly chop spinach.
Add penne to the boiling water. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender, 10-12 min. Reserve 1/2 cup pasta water (dbl for 4 ppl), then drain and return penne to the same pot, off heat.
While penne cooks, heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat. When hot, add 2 tbsp butter (dbl for 4 ppl), then garlic, shallots and peas. Season with garlic salt and pepper. Sprinkle flour over veggies. Cook, stirring often, until veggies soften, 2-3 min.
Stir in reserved pasta water and cream. Bring to a boil over medium-high. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium and cook until sauce thickens slightly, 3-4 min.
Remove and discard skin from barramundi, then gently flake into bite-sized pieces using a fork. Add sauce, spinach and barramundi to the large pot with penne. Season with pepper, then stir to combine. Divide pasta between bowls. Sprinkle Parmesan over top.
