Ingredients

Seafood

2 fillets salmon fillets Look for vibrant color and firm flesh.
10-12 pieces shrimp, peeled and deveined Ensure they are fresh and smell like the ocean.

Vegetables and Starch

1 bunch broccolini Can be steamed or sautéed.
2 cups mashed potatoes Use cream and butter for extra creaminess.

Seasonings

3 cloves garlic, minced Sauté until fragrant.
2 tbsp butter For cooking shrimp.
Olive oil For coating seafood.
to taste Salt

to taste Paprika
to taste Italian seasoning
2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped For garnish.
to taste Lemon juice Drizzle over seafood before serving.

Method

Preparation

Coat the salmon and shrimp with olive oil, paprika, garlic, salt, and pepper.

Cooking

Heat a skillet on medium-high heat and add the salmon fillets skin-side down. Cook for 4-5 minutes per side until the skin is crispy.
In the same skillet, melt butter, add minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink.
Steam or sauté the broccolini until tender-crisp and bright green, about 3-4 minutes.
If necessary, prepare mashed potatoes with cream and butter for extra creaminess.

Assembly

Start with a base of mashed potatoes, layer the salmon on top, and finish with garlic shrimp and a sprinkle of fresh parsley.

Notes

For a spicy kick, add red pepper flakes; for a lighter option, replace butter with olive oil and steam shrimp. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
