Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Season the salmon fillets generously with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and garlic powder. Allow them to rest for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Sear the salmon fillets for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through. Remove from skillet.
  3. In the same skillet, add more olive oil if needed, then cook the peeled shrimp for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove from skillet.
  4. Lower heat and melt butter in the skillet. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until aromatic and lightly golden.
  5. Stir in heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and add Parmesan cheese, stirring until sauce thickens, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Add lemon juice and chopped parsley to the sauce, then return salmon and shrimp to skillet, cooking for an additional 2-3 minutes.
  7. Plate the dish, spooning the sauce over the salmon and shrimp. Garnish with parsley and serve with lemon wedges.
