Fish With Creamy Dijon Shrimp Sauce Recipes

CREAMY DIJON SALMON

Steps:

• Pat salmon dry with paper towel. Season salmon all over with salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika.
• Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until hot. Sear flesh-side down first (skin-side up), for 5 minutes or until cooked halfway up. Flip and cook for a further 3-4 minutes or until cooked to your liking. (Cook in batches of two if needed to avoid overcrowding your pan.)
• Once cooked, remove salmon from the pan and set aside. KEEP all of the flavourful juices in the pan.
• Return pan to medium-high heat and melt the butter in the juices. Sauté garlic until fragrant (about 30 seconds), then pour in the stock. Allow liquid to reduce to half while scraping browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
• Reduce heat to low-medium heat. Whisk in the Dijon mustard, cream and parsley. Add the asparagus and bring to a gentle simmer, while stirring occasionally, until asparagus is cooked and sauce has thickened. Season with salt and pepper to your taste.
• Add the salmon back into the pan, sprinkle with parsley, taste test sauce and adjust salt and pepper, if needed.
• Serve.

CREAMY GARLIC PRAWNS (SHRIMP)

Steps:

• Place prawns, garlic, oil and pepper in a bowl. Toss to coat, set aside 20 minutes if time permits (no longer).
• Stir through salt just prior to cooking.
• Melt 15g / 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add half the prawns and cook for 1 minute on each side, then remove.
• Repeat with remaining prawns (you shouldn't need more butter), then remove. Scrape out excess remaining garlic from pan and add to cooked prawns.
• Add butter into skillet and let it melt. Add garlic and stir for 30 seconds or until light golden.
• Add white wine, turn up heat to high. Bring to simmer while stirring base of the pan to dissolve all the golden bits into the sauce. Cook 1 minute or until it most evaporates and the winey smell is gone.
• Add chicken stock and reduce until mostly gone and just a thin layer remains on base of skillet.
• Add cream, then simmer on medium heat for 2 minutes until reduced and slightly thickened.
• Stir through parmesan, then add the prawns back in. Taste sauce and see if more salt and pepper is needed.
• Serve sprinkled with parsley, over mashed potato or something to soak up that fabulous sauce!

SEARED SALMON AND SHRIMP WITH CREAMY DIJON DILL SAUCE

• Make sure to dry your salmon fillets with a paper towel.
• After drying off the salmon season each side of the salmon very well with salt and pepper. Set the salmon to the side.
• Coat shrimp with olive oil. Place shrimp on pan lined with foil. Then season the shrimp with the garlic powder, black pepper, and about 2 teaspoons of kosher salt.
• In a medium size sauce pan add the butter and drizzle of olive oil. Cook the butter and oil on medium heat until it melts.
• Add the garlic and dill to the melted butter and olive oil. Cook this garlic mixture for about a minute or until the garlic is soft.
• Add the dry white wine, mustard, paprika, and heavy cream to the pan and stir mixing well. Salt and pepper to taste. Turn the heat down to medium low, and cook for about 5 to 7 minutes. The sauce will thicken.
• While the sauce is cooking, heat a pan on medium to medium high heat until it's hot.
• Add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil to the hot pan, then add the salmon (bone side down first) to the pan. Cook the salmon for 2 minutes. Remove pan from the heat source.
• Before flipping the fish over, sprinkle some of the garlic and dill on the fish. Then, flip the fish over.
• After flipping the fish over, sprinkle the rest of the fresh dill and garlic on top of the fish. Place the lemon slices throughout the pan on top of the fish.
• Broil fish for about 7 to 8 minutes.
• Broil shrimp for about 5 minutes or until shrimp are pink in color and fully cooked.
• Plate the salmon on each plate then top it with the sauce and shrimp. Then serve.

FISH WITH CREAMY DIJON SHRIMP SAUCE

Steps:

• 1. Thaw fish if using frozen. Allow fish (either fresh or frozen) to come to room temperature. This makes for less time over the heat, helping to keep fish moist. Rinse and pat dry and lay on paper towels.
• 2. Place 2 tablespoons of the butter and 1/2 tsp each of onion salt, dried marjoram and dried thyme in a small bowl. Cover with a paper towel and microwave for 30 seconds to a minute, until butter is melted.
• 3. Brush top side of each fish fillet with half of the melted butter mixture and set aside.
• 4. In a medium saucepan, heat enough water to cover the shrimp and bring the water to a boil. Add the shrimp. Once the water comes back to a boil, cook the shrimp for 2-1/2 to 3 minutes, just until they are done (don't overcook). Remove pan from heat and set aside. (the water will help keep the shrimp warm...so it is very important not to over cook the shrimp).
• 5. In a small saucepan, combine the sour cream, flour, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, and 1/4 tsp. thyme. Stir until smooth. Add chicken broth, stirring until well mixed. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally until thickened and bubbly. Cook and stir 1 minute more. Keep warm over very low heat, stirring occasionally. (When I first put this over the heat, I begin heating up my skillet for my fish, and the fish cooks while my sauce is coming up to a boil and thickening).
• 6. While Dijon sauce is coming up to a boil, heat a large skillet coated lightly with cooking spray over medium heat. Add remaining 2 TBS butter. Once butter is melted, add fish fillets, basted side down, with the thickest portion toward the center of your pan. Baste the top with the remainder of the basting sauce. Depending on your fish choice and its thickness, cook the fish for 2 to 4 minutes, just until a nice light brown color. Carefully turn the fish over (with the thickest portion still in the center of your pan) and cook another 2 to 4 minutes, just until the fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove to serving plates. (My tilapia fillets were 1/2 inch thick at the most and about 4 ounces each. I cooked 2 minutes on one side, 3 minutes on the other and they were perfect.)
• 7. Drain shrimp and stir into the Dijon sauce. Top each fillet with 6 shrimp each and some of the sauce. ENJOY!

SHRIMP IN CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• In a small saucepan, melt butter; stir in flour until smooth. Gradually add broth and garlic. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Remove from the heat. Stir in the cream, parsley, paprika, salt and pepper., Butterfly shrimp, by cutting lengthwise almost in half, but leaving shrimp attached at opposite side. Spread to butterfly. Place cut side down in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish. Pour cream sauce over shrimp. Bake, uncovered, at 400° for 15-18 minutes or until shrimp turn pink. Serve with noodles or rice.

CREAMY PARMESAN SAUCE FOR FISH

Steps:

• Set oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil; lightly coat with about 1 teaspoon butter.
• Lay fish in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
• Mix Parmesan cheese, 1/3 cup butter, mayonnaise, green onion, lemon juice, dill, salt, black pepper, and hot sauce together in a bowl.
• Broil fish in the preheated oven until it flakes easily with a fork, 7 to 8 minutes. Gently spread Parmesan cheese mixture over fish; return to oven and broil until topping is bubbling and lightly browned, about 2 more minutes.

SAUTEED SHRIMP WITH CHARDONNAY-DIJON CREAM SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat a large saucepan of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with the salt and pepper to taste.
• Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat; add the oil. Heat about 30 seconds; add the shrimp, distributing evenly in the pan. Cook, turning once, until pink, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer the shrimp to a platter; cover with foil to keep them warm.
• Add the pasta to the boiling water; cook until al dente, tender but still slightly chewy, following package directions for the time.
• Meanwhile, heat the same skillet over high heat; add the wine. Stir with a wooden spoon to scrape and dissolve pan deposits; cook until liquid reduces by half, about 5 minutes. REduce the heat to medium-high; stir in the cream. Cook 1 minute; stir in the mustard. Cook until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shrimp; cook until heated through, about 1 minute.
• Drain pasta; divide equally amongst 4 shallow bowls. Spoon the sauce over the pasta. Divide the shrimp evenly amongst the bowls. Garnish with parsley.
• This goes really well with crusty bread!
