A delightful dish combining baked salmon with a flavorful shrimp herb sauce, perfect for a special dinner.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking of the salmon.
Place the salmon fillets in a baking dish and season them with your preferred seasoning.
Use a seasoning blend that complements seafood, like a mix of salt, pepper, and paprika.
Pour the white wine over the salmon and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Basting the salmon with the wine during baking can enhance its flavor.
While the salmon is baking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Ensure the butter doesn't brown unless you want a nutty flavor.
Add the shrimp to the saucepan and sauté for 2 minutes.
Cook until the shrimp turn pink but avoid overcooking.
Add the bay leaf, oregano, rosemary, peppercorn, and garlic to the saucepan and sauté for another minute.
Stir constantly to release the aromas of the herbs and spices.
Mix the flour with the chicken broth in a cup until smooth, then pour it into the saucepan.
Whisk continuously to avoid lumps in the sauce.
Add the lemon juice to the saucepan and cook until the sauce thickens, about 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve the baked salmon on plates and spoon the shrimp herb sauce over each fillet.
Garnish with a sprig of fresh rosemary for presentation.
