Cajun Salmon & Shrimp in Creamy Garlic Herb Sauce

Instructions

Step 1: Season salmon fillets and shrimp with Cajun seasoning, salt, and pepper.

Step 2: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear salmon fillets skin-side down for 4–5 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2–3 minutes. Remove and set aside.

Step 3: In the same skillet, add the shrimp and cook for 1–2 minutes per side until opaque. Remove and set aside.

Step 4: Reduce heat to medium. Melt butter in the skillet and add garlic. Sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 5: Stir in heavy cream, chicken broth, and capers. Let simmer for 3–4 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.

Step 6: Return salmon and shrimp to the skillet. Spoon the sauce over the top and simmer for another 2 minutes to combine flavors.

Step 7: Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
