Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb salmon fillet (about 4 fillets)
  • 1/2 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1 tsp lemon zest (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp smoked paprika
  • 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
  • Salt and black pepper
  • 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat salmon dry, season both sides with salt, pepper, and smoked paprika.
  2. Stir together melted butter, garlic, lemon juice, lemon zest if using, and red pepper flakes. Taste and adjust salt.
  3. Place salmon on a lined sheet pan, spoon half the garlic butter over the fillets, and roast 8 minutes.
  4. Toss shrimp with the remaining butter, scatter around the salmon, and bake another 5 to 7 minutes until shrimp are pink and salmon flakes.
  5. Switch oven to broil, broil 1 to 2 minutes until tops are lightly browned, sprinkle with parsley, and serve with lemon wedges.

Notes

If you like, leave the shrimp tails on for a prettier presentation. Shrimp size matters, large or extra-large shrimp hold up best here and won't overcook before the salmon finishes.
