Ingredients
For the Salmon and Shrimp:
- 2 salmon fillets
- 8 oz shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano (optional)
For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
- Grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for extra richness)
Instructions
Step 1: Cook the Salmon
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the salmon fillets with salt, pepper, and dried oregano. Place the salmon in the skillet, skin side down, and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until cooked through and golden brown. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set it aside.
Step 2: Cook the Shrimp
In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside with the salmon.
Step 3: Prepare the Creamy Garlic Sauce
In the same skillet, melt butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Pour in the chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream, salt, and pepper, and let it simmer for 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Add the lemon juice and mix well.
Step 4: Combine Salmon and Shrimp
Return the cooked salmon and shrimp to the skillet, spooning the creamy garlic sauce over the top. Let it simmer for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the salmon and shrimp to reheat and soak up the sauce.
Step 5: Serve & Garnish
Serve the salmon and shrimp on a plate, spooning extra sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and grated Parmesan, if desired.
This Salmon and Shrimp with Creamy Garlic Sauce is rich, flavorful, and sure to impress! Serve it with a side of roasted vegetables, pasta, or rice for a complete meal. Enjoy!
