Cajun Salmon and Shrimp with Garlic Butter Sauce Delight

Ingredients

• 2 fillets salmon (6 oz each)
• 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons Cajun seasoning
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• to taste salt and pepper
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• for serving cooked rice or quinoa

Instructions

1. Generously sprinkle the Cajun seasoning over both sides of the salmon fillets and shrimp. Make sure they're well-coated for the best flavor.
2. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add 2 tablespoons of butter. Allow it to melt and sizzle slightly.
3. Place the salmon fillets skin-side down in the skillet. Cook for about 4-5 minutes, or until the skin is crispy and the salmon is cooked halfway through. Flip and cook for another 3-4 minutes until fully cooked. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.
4. In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and cherry tomatoes. Sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
5. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes, or until pink and opaque. Stir occasionally.
6. Drizzle lemon juice over the shrimp and tomatoes, stir to combine, and season with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Return the cooked salmon to the skillet to warm through for about 1 minute. Serve the salmon and shrimp over a bed of cooked rice or quinoa, spooning the garlic butter sauce over the top.
