How to Make Salmon With Herb Shrimp Sauce Ww

  1. Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
  2. Spray an 8-inch square baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.
  3. Pat a 6-ounce salmon fillet dry.
  4. Place the salmon in the prepared pan. Pour 2 tablespoons of dry sherry or vermouth over the salmon.
  5. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the salmon is opaque and flakes easily with a fork.
  6. While the salmon bakes, prepare the sauce: In a medium nonstick saucepan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter over medium heat until melted.
  7. Whisk in 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.
  8. Gradually whisk in 1/2 cup fish broth and 1 tablespoon lemon juice.
  9. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly, until the sauce thickens (about 2-3 minutes).
  10. Add 1/2 cup cooked shrimp, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried rosemary, and a pinch of black pepper to the sauce.
  11. Cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through (about 2 minutes).
  12. Place the baked salmon on a serving platter.
  13. Pour the pan juices from the baking pan into the shrimp sauce.
  14. Simmer for 1 minute, stirring occasionally, to combine flavors.
  15. Pour the sauce generously over the salmon.
  16. Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs and serve immediately.
