Grilled Salmon With Shrimp Recipes

SALMON WITH HERB SHRIMP SAUCE

Steps:

• 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.
• 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.
• Pour broth into a cup and stir in flour.
• Pour this mixture slowly into pan. Add lemon juice and cook over medium heat until thickened, about 5 minutes.
• To serve, place one fillet on each plate, then lable on sauce.

GRILLED SALMON WITH SHRIMP

Steps:

• Preheat charcoal or gas grill, or broiler, to high.
• Cut salmon into 4 pieces of equal size and set aside.
• Place each shrimp on a flat surface and cut through back of shell, leaving shell and underside feelers intact. Open each shrimp butterfly fashion and devein.
• Pour oil into a flat dish and add shrimp and salmon. Turn pieces to coat on all sides. Sprinkle all over with salt, pepper, thyme, pepper flakes and lemon juice. Cover with plastic wrap and let stand at room temperature about 10 to 15 minutes.
• When ready to cook, remove seafood from marinade. Pour marinade into small saucepan. If using a broiler, arrange salmon skin side up on a baking sheet. Place under broiler about 4 inches from source of heat. Leave broiler door partly open. Broil 1 1/2 minutes on one side and turn. Arrange shrimp shell side down around salmon and place under broiler. Cook 2 minutes and turn shrimp. Leave broiler door totally open. Continue cooking salmon and shrimp 1 minute.
• If using a charcoal or gas grill, place salmon pieces skin side down on grill and cook about 1 1/2 minutes. Turn salmon and place shrimp shell side down. Continue cooking 2 minutes, turning shrimp occasionally.
• Transfer pieces to a heated platter. Add melted butter to reserved marinade and bring to a boil. Pour butter mixture over seafood. Sprinkle with chopped parsley and serve.

GRILLED SALMON IN FOIL

Steps:

• Remove the salmon from the refrigerator and let stand at room temperature for 10 minutes while you prepare the other ingredients. Preheat an outdoor grill to medium (about 375 degrees F). Line a rimmed baking sheet (large enough to hold your piece of salmon) with a large piece of aluminum foil. If you prefer your food not to touch the foil directly, lay a piece of parchment paper on top (be sure none of it pokes out when the packet is sealed).
• Lightly coat the foil with baking spray. Then, arrange a few sprigs of dill down the middle. Cut the lemons into thin slices and arrange half of the slices down the middle with the dill. Place the salmon on top.
• Drizzle the salmon with the melted butter. Sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Scatter the garlic over the top, then lay a few more springs of dill and the remaining lemon slices on top of the salmon. Chop a tablespoon or so of the remaining dill and reserve for serving.
• Fold the sides of the aluminum foil up and over the top of the salmon until it is completely enclosed. If your piece of foil is not large enough, place a second piece on top and fold the edges under so that it forms a sealed packet. Leave a little room inside the foil for air to circulate.
• Carefully slide the wrapped salmon onto the grill. Close the grill and grill the salmon for 14-18 minutes, until the salmon is almost completely cooked through at the thickest part. The cooking time will vary based on the thickness of your salmon side. If your piece is thinner (around 1-inch thick) check several minutes early to ensure your salmon does not overcook. If your piece is very thick (1 1/2 inches or more), it may need longer.
• Open the grill, and carefully open the foil so that the top of the fish is completely uncovered (be careful of hot steam). Close the grill, and continue grilling until the fish is cooked through completely, about 3 minutes more. Watch the salmon closely to make sure it doesn't overcook. Remove the salmon from the grill (I like to use the foil to lift it right back on top of the baking sheet). If it still appears a bit underdone, you can wrap the foil back over the top, and let it rest for a few minutes. Do not let it sit too long-salmon can progress from "not done" to "over done" very quickly. As soon as it flakes easily with a fork, it's ready.
• To serve, cut the salmon into portions. Remove the topmost sprigs of dill and discard. Sprinkle with freshly chopped dill and top with an extra squeeze of lemon as desired.
