 Ingredients

• 2 salmon fillets
• 1/2 lb (225g) shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp olive oil
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1/2 cup chicken or seafood broth
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp Italian seasoning
• Salt & black pepper to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• Lemon wedges (for serving)

 Instructions

1 Sear the Salmon:
Season the salmon fillets with salt and pepper. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and sear the salmon for about 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside.

2 Cook the Shrimp:
In the same pan, add a bit more butter if needed and cook the shrimp for 2–3 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside with the salmon.

3 Make the Garlic Sauce:
Reduce heat to medium. Melt butter in the same pan, then add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Pour in the cream and broth, stirring well.

4 Add Cheese & Seasoning:
Stir in Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning. Let the sauce simmer until slightly thickened and creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

5 Combine Everything:
Return the salmon and shrimp to the pan, spooning the creamy garlic sauce over the top. Let everything simmer together for 2–3 minutes to blend the flavors.

6 Garnish & Serve:
Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for a fresh, zesty finish.
