Creamy Lemon Garlic Seafood Salmon with Shrimp
Ingredients :
• 4 salmon fillets
• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 tbsp butter
• 4 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tbsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp lemon zest
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• ½ tsp paprika
• ½ tsp red pepper flakes
• ½ tsp salt
• ¼ tsp black pepper
• 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
• Lemon slices, for garnish
• 2 cups cooked rice, optional for serving
How to Make It:
1. Sear the Salmon
Pat the salmon dry and season with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the fillets for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through, then transfer them to a plate.
2. Cook the Shrimp
Add the shrimp to the same skillet and cook until pink, opaque, and lightly golden. Remove them with the salmon so they stay tender.
3. Simmer the Lemon Cream
Add the garlic to the skillet and cook until fragrant. Stir in the heavy cream, Parmesan, lemon juice, lemon zest, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes, then simmer gently until the sauce is smooth.
4. Reunite the Seafood
Return the salmon and shrimp to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over both and let everything warm together for 2-3 minutes.
5. Finish and Serve
Scatter with fresh parsley and add lemon slices. Serve with the cooked rice if using, spooning extra cream sauce over each portion.
