Salmon with Herb Shrimp Sauce

This is the final recipe for my group in the recipe swap, I have to say they all had delicious recipes so I will probably be making some more before the month is out. This was an excellent salmon recipe I served mine with jumbo shrimp, I love them and they were on special so I thought why not treat us.

500g Salmon fillets
creole seasoning, Tony Chachere’s (I used Cajun, couldn’t get this.)
1/4 Cup white wine (I used a little more.)
250g Small shrimp, peeled ( I used Jumbo shrimp I love them)
2 Tablespoons butter
1 Bay leaf
1 Tablespoon fresh oregano or 1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 Teaspoon fresh rosemary or 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 Teaspoon peppercorns, crushed
1 Teaspoon garlic
2 Tablespoons plain flour
1 Cup chicken broth
2 Tablespoons lemon juice

Method

1. Place salmon in baking dish. Season generously with Tony Chachere’s Creole Seasoning. Add wine and bake in 180°C/350°F oven for 20 minutes.

2. While fish is baking, make sauce. Melt butter in a medium saucepan. Saute shrimp about 2 minutes. Add bay leaf, oregano, rosemary, pepper and garlic. Saute for about 1 minute.

3. Pour broth into a cup and stir in flour.

4. Pour this mixture slowly into pan. Add lemon juice and cook over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes.

I served mine over spinach topped with prawns and then topped with bacon wrapped asparagus, poured the sauce over and served wild rice on the side. Delicious!!!
