Made Salmon And shrimp

1. Prepare the Seafood:

  • Season both the salmon fillets and shrimp with salt and pepper.

2. Cook the Salmon:

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Once hot, add the salmon fillets skin-side down (if they have skin). Cook for 4-5 minutes on one side until golden and crisp.
  • Flip the salmon over and cook for another 3-4 minutes or until it reaches your desired level of doneness. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

3. Cook the Shrimp:

  • In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes on each side or until they are pink and opaque. Remove from the skillet and set aside with the salmon.

4. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:

  • In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium and add the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the minced garlic and cook for 1 minute until fragrant but not browned.
  • Stir in the lemon juice, honey (or brown sugar), and if using, red pepper flakes. Allow the sauce to simmer for 1-2 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Combine:

  • Return the salmon and shrimp to the skillet. Spoon the garlic butter sauce over the seafood and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Cook for another 1-2 minutes, just to heat everything through.

6. Serve:

  • Serve the garlic butter salmon and shrimp immediately, ensuring each plate gets an even mix of both seafood types. This dish goes wonderfully with steamed vegetables, over cooked pasta, or alongside a fresh salad.

Tips for Perfect Garlic Butter Salmon and Shrimp

  • Don’t Overcook the Seafood: Keep a close eye on both the salmon and shrimp to ensure they remain tender and juicy. Overcooking can make them dry and tough.
  • Customize Your Sauce: Feel free to adjust the amount of garlic, lemon, and honey in the sauce to suit your taste preferences.
  • Fresh Is Best: Whenever possible, use fresh salmon, shrimp, and parsley for the best flavor and texture in your dish.

This Garlic Butter Salmon and Shrimp recipe promises a meal that’s not only visually impressive but also packed with flavors that are sure to delight any seafood lover. Enjoy your culinary creation!
