NEW ORLEANS SALMON RECIPE RECIPES

Steps:

• Place shrimp in a bowl. Add lemon zest, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and paprika to shrimp; toss to coat. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drizzle oil into hot skillet and place salmon fillets, skin-side down, on the skillet. Sprinkle salmon with salt to taste. Depending on the size of your skillet, you might need to work in batches to cook all the salmon. Cook salmon until skin crisps for 2 to 3 minutes. Flip salmon and continue cooking until fish flakes easily or until desired doneness is reached, 3 to 4 minutes more. Transfer salmon fillets to plates and cover to keep warm. Melt butter in the same skillet over high heat. Cook and stir seasoned shrimp in hot butter until pink and cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Squeeze lemon juice over shrimp and stir in parsley. Top salmon fillets with shrimp and drizzle pan juices over each fillet. Serve with rice, potatoes, or your favorite veggies.

Steps:

• In a shallow dish, stir together all Cajun seasoning ingredients. Add shrimp and toss until thoroughly coated in the seasoning blend. Set seasoned shrimp aside while you prepare the salmon.
• Lightly season each salmon fillet with a bit of salt and pepper.
• Heat 2 Tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add honey and whisk to combine (mixture should be bubbly). Add salmon fillets to skillet and cook for 5-6 minutes, then flip and cook another 4-5 minutes or until salmon is cooked through, flaky, and browned. Transfer salmon to a plate and cover with aluminum foil to keep warm.
• Add remaining 4 Tbsp butter to the same skillet over medium heat. Once butter is melted, stir in the seasoned shrimp, and saute until opaque and cooked through, about 4-5 minutes total, turning frequently to prevent burning.
• Serve salmon topped with shrimp. Drizzle extra pan sauce over the top of each serving, and garnish with parsley. Serve immediately.
