Ingredients

For the Salmon and Shrimp:

  • 2 salmon fillets

  • 1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika

  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme

  • 1/2 teaspoon salt

  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional, for heat)

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

  • Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Alternatively, you can grill or sauté the seafood.

  • Prepare the Seasoning Mixture:
    In a small bowl, combine olive oil, minced garlic, lemon juice, smoked paprika, thyme, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper (if using).

  • Coat the Salmon and Shrimp:
    Rub the seasoning mixture over the salmon fillets and shrimp, ensuring they are evenly coated.

  • For Oven-Baking:

    • Bake the Salmon: Place the salmon fillets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon flakes easily with a fork.

    • Bake the Shrimp: If baking, arrange the shrimp around the salmon on the same sheet and bake for 6-8 minutes until they turn pink and opaque.

  • For Sautéing:
    If sautéing, heat a skillet over medium-high heat and cook the shrimp for 3-4 minutes per side until they turn pink and cooked through. Cook the salmon for 4-5 minutes per side.

  • Serve:
    Once the salmon and shrimp are cooked, remove them from the heat. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • Grilled Version: For a smoky flavor, grill the salmon and shrimp. Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side and salmon for 4-5 minutes per side.

  • Cajun Twist: Use Cajun seasoning for a spicier dish. Add bell peppers and onions to the shrimp for extra flavor.

  • Garlic Butter Version: Sauté both the salmon and shrimp in garlic butter for a richer flavor.

  • Vegetarian Option: Substitute the seafood with firm tofu or portobello mushrooms for a savory alternative.

  • Side Suggestions: Serve with rice, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad for a balanced meal.
