Salmon with Shrimp and Mushroom Alfredo
I'm not really a big fish eater, but Salmon with a Seafood Shrimp & Mushroom Alfredo tastes amazing! Atlantic salmon fillets are seared, then topped with a creamy alfredo sauce and it makes an absolutely delicious meal.
Ingredients
- 4 (4oz each) Salmon fillets
- 9 oz Bella mushrooms
- 12 oz raw large shrimp
- salt and pepper to taste
Seafood Alfredo:
- 2/3 cup heavy cream
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp flour
- 1/4 cup colby & monterey jack blend cheese
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 tbsp sour cream
- 1/8 tsp of garlic powder
- 1/8 tsp old bay seasoning
- 1/3 cup water
- 1 tbsp parsley
Marinade for Salmon:
- 1 tbsp fresh parsley
- 3 tbsp olive oil
- 1/8 tsp salt and black pepper
- 1/8 tsp old bay seasoning
- 1 tsp soy sauce
Instructions
- In a medium-sized bowl whisk 3 tbsp olive oil, 1 tbsp fresh parsley, 1/8 tsp of salt & pepper, 1/8 tsp old bay seasoning, and 1 tsp of soy sauce. Add washed and patted dry salmon fillets and allow to marinate while you prep the other ingredients.
- Shell or remove the tails from the shrimp and slice cleaned and patted dry mushrooms. Season both shrimp & mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste.
- Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat and sauté the mushrooms until tender and reduced in size. Set aside.
- Increase the heat to high heat and in the same skillet sear the shrimp on both sides. Shrimp cooks very quickly, so be very careful not to overcook them. (Just until they get pink.)
- Remove the shrimps and set aside. Making sure the heat is on high, sear the salmon fillets for 3-4 min on each side. You can reduce the heat after you have placed the salmon on the skillet just keep your eye not to burn the fillets. This technique helps with a nice crust.
- Remove the fillets and place them on paper towels; set aside.
- In a medium-sized saucepan melt 4 tbsp of butter and then add 2 tbsp of flour, whisking until fully incorporated. Slowly add the cream, cheeses, sour cream, and seasonings. Continue whisking until cheese melt. (Sauce will be slightly thick at this point.)
- Add 1/3 cup of water and 1 tbsp of fresh parsley; stir to combine and allow to heat through over med-low heat. Add the shrimps and mushrooms. Turn off and keep warm until serving.
- To assemble; place a salmon fillet onto a plate and ladle the Alfredo sauce generously over the fish. Sprinkle with green onions and enjoy!
