How to Make Salmon With Herb Shrimp Sauce

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the salmon fillets dry with paper towels and season generously with salt and pepper.
  3. In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 3-5 minutes per side. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
  4. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter to the skillet. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
  5. Stir in the chopped fresh herbs (parsley, dill, chives), lemon juice, and white wine. Bring to a simmer and cook for 1 minute.
  6. Stir in the heavy cream and cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
  7. Add the cooked shrimp back to the sauce and gently heat through.
  8. Place the seasoned salmon fillets in a baking dish. Pour the shrimp sauce evenly over the salmon.
  9. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the salmon is cooked through and flakes easily with a fork.
  10. Garnish with extra fresh herbs and serve immediately.
