Ingredients

• 4 6-ounce pieces salmon fillet
• 8 ounces raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 cup chicken or seafood stock
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, chopped
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika

Directions

Step 1

Pat the salmon fillets dry with a paper towel and season both sides with salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down and sear for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the salmon from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Sprinkle the flour over the garlic and stir well to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes until the flour is lightly golden.

Step 5

Slowly whisk in the chicken or seafood stock, ensuring no lumps remain. Let the mixture simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

Step 6

Add the heavy cream to the skillet and mix well. Stir in the shrimp and cook for 3-4 minutes until pink and cooked through.

Step 7

Reduce the heat to low and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, parsley, dill, and lemon juice. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste if needed.

Step 8

Return the salmon fillets to the skillet, spooning the shrimp sauce over the top. Let it warm through for 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Serve immediately, garnished with extra fresh herbs if desired, and paired with steamed vegetables or rice.
