Creamy Garlic Spinach Salmon & Shrimp 
That golden salmon swimming in creamy garlic goodness makes seafood night next-level!
Ingredients :– 1 large salmon fillet, about 1½ lbs
– 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
– 5 garlic cloves, finely minced
– 1½ cups heavy cream
– ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
– 3 cups fresh baby spinach
– 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
– ½ teaspoon paprika
– ½ teaspoon Italian seasoning
– ½ teaspoon salt
– ½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
– ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, optional
– 3 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
– Fresh lemon slices, for serving
How to Make It :
Season That Salmon:– Pat the salmon dry and season generously with paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. A dry surface helps create that gorgeous crust for pan-seared salmon, restaurant-style seafood, and an easy gourmet dinner.
Get It Golden:– Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear the salmon until deeply golden and lightly charred around the edges, about 4–5 minutes per side depending on thickness. Set aside while keeping that juicy salmon center, crispy seared crust, and seafood dinner favorite intact.
Sizzle the Shrimp:– Add 1 tablespoon butter to the skillet and cook the shrimp for about 1–2 minutes per side until pink, curled, and lightly golden. Remove and reserve for garlic butter shrimp, juicy seafood bites, and a seriously loaded salmon dinner.
Make the Creamy Spinach Sauce:– Lower the heat and melt the remaining butter. Add garlic and cook briefly, then pour in heavy cream and stir in Parmesan. Add spinach and simmer until wilted and the sauce becomes silky and thick. Finish with lemon juice for creamy garlic spinach sauce, Parmesan seafood goodness, and rich comfort-food flavor.
Bring It All Together:– Return the salmon and shrimp to the skillet and spoon that creamy spinach sauce generously over everything. Finish with parsley, black pepper, and fresh lemon for creamy salmon and shrimp, an impressive seafood feast, and a downright special dinner centerpiece.
